Career Services is available for classroom presentations and workshops to discuss areas of career development, including an overview of our services, career exploration, job search strategies, and more.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 17, Career Services will transition employment and workforce assistance referrals for community members to external community partners, including IowaWORKS, which is conveniently located in East Hall on the Cedar Rapids campus. This change will allow our team to spend more time supporting our prospective and current students exploring career options, identifying goals, and navigating their career development journey.
Community members may also continue to access valuable career-related resources through Resources & Support, in addition to the resources listed below:
