For the second consecutive summer, the Career Center hosted the Recent Grad Job Search Program. First piloted in fall 2022, this program has supported more than 100 alumni in their post-grad job search. One participant, Jacob Zebker '24, credits this group with helping him find career success at Boeing in Seattle after graduation.
Jacob Zebker '24 "I graduated as part of the SCU Class of ‘24 with a MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering after making a career change. Choosing SCU and the Engineering program was instrumental for my career development. Myriam and the Summer Job Search Program were an enormous help, advising me on how to properly showcase relevant work experience and making sure I was aware of the resources available to the Bronco community. With my MS and their support, I was able to secure a full time engineering position with Boeing in Seattle!" Questions about the Recent Grad Job Search Program?

The Career Center is home to an extensive library of career and professional development resources, all of which can be accessed through our Job Prep Toolkit. Below, we're spotlighting 5 career guides that you and your students absolutely need to know about.
Step-by-step career guides for all class years as well as transfer students, graduate students, undocumented students, international students, and student-athletes. Each guide includes a customized list of resources and recommendations specific to each student group.
Curated specifically for Santa Clara, this 75-page guide organizes hundreds of online job boards by School/College and by Major.
An extensive list of resources relevant to specific affinity groups and populations. Also includes a section for students interested in career opportunities in social justice.
There are multiple career readiness competencies (e.g., Communication, Critical Thinking, Leadership, Teamwork), each of which can be demonstrated in a variety of ways. Students can use this guide to explore dozens and dozens of suggested Santa Clara activities that can help develop each competency.
Students can use this guide to supplement their learning and gain a competitive advantage in the job search. Includes lists of company-sponsored training programs (e.g., Meta Blueprint, Oracle Academy, Salesforce Trailhead) and online learning platforms (e.g., Forage, LinkedIn Learning, Wall Street Prep). ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ Career Center Volunteers at Second Harvest of Silicon Valley
On Wednesday, December 11, the Career Center volunteered with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley to distribute groceries at St. John Vianney Church. Together, we lived out our team values of "Collaboration and Teamwork" and "Equity and Access" in a new way.
It was great to be outside, doing something physical, and being in community with others, especially our fellow volunteers from ServiceNow! ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ ◾ Career Center Hosts Holiday Open House
