Career Services

Career services are provided for South College students/graduates and alumni. While the primary focus is to assist students on an individual basis upon graduation, any enrolled student or alumnus may seek employment information through this office.

Although employment in full-time positions cannot be guaranteed, locating field-related employment upon graduation is at the crux of the Career Services Department’s operations. As students approach the final quarter of their program, specific, personalized, and individualized instruction is available in various areas of career and professional development including resume and cover letter creation, job searching strategies, networking skills, and interviewing preparation.

Any interested student or alumnus seeking to utilize these services is required to complete and submit the Career Services Student Agreement and Release of Information Authorization form and the Career Services Application form to their campus designated Career Services Representative.
