Career Development & Services

Welcome to the Office of Career Development and Services and congratulations on taking the next step toward your professional career.

Many Post University students wish to apply what they learn during their academic year in the professional environment by seeking short-term practical training and/or permanent employment upon graduation.  Although this can be a challenging process, the Career Services office is committed to providing individual assistance throughout the year. Recent Post University graduates are employed in corporations, firms, non-profits, academe, and other settings.   

We offer informational meetings orienting you to the career exploration process, the job market, as well as individual assistance in developing a strategic plan for your job search. We also guide you through the process of developing a strong resume and cover letters, and provide opportunities for practice interviews. Our office includes a Resource Center that affords access to extensive materials in hard copy or on-line to aid in your job search. 

Please note:  If you are interested in obtaining a co-op or a practicum site, please make an appointment with the Career Services Office one semester prior to the semester you wish to complete the experience.
