Career Center

The Career Center at Santa Clara University takes a forward-thinking approach to understanding our students’ emerging learning needs, using innovative educational and employer engagement models to facilitate and accelerate our students’ personal and professional development. The heart of the Career Center’s work involves a passion for helping students find their fit, discover the intersection of their talents, and discover what brings them joy and what the world needs.

The Career Center offers individual career coaching to support students in their career discernment.  Additionally, the Career Center offers a variety of programs and services each year, including career fairs, employer information sessions, classes and workshops on internship and job search strategies, résumés  and cover letters, LinkedIn, networking and interviewing, and more.
