Get your EDGE in the competitive job market!

The Career Success Certificate (CSC) program offers students a structured yet flexible plan for optimizing career and job-search success.  In the CSC program you will have opportunities to pursue Self-Exploration, Career Exploration, and Job/Internship Search skills.

Self-Exploration:  The better you know yourself -- your strengths, skills, interests, and values -- the more likely it is that you will find satisfying work that allows you to excel.

Career Exploration:  What types of careers are out there and how can a student explore these options?  Find resources that explain different careers, their requirements, salaries, and the likelihood of employment opportunities in the future.

Job/Internship Search Skills:  The elements leading to a successful job search are not "rocket science," but they do require specific, learnable skill sets such as knowing how to tailor your resume, what to do at a career fair, how to network, and how to conduct an excellent job interview!

Special Networking Event:  All students who successfully complete the CS Certificate requirements by mid-Spring Quarter will be eligible to attend an exclusive Networking Event that will be open only to those who have finished the CS Certificate.

The Career Success Certificate is flexible and can be completed within one quarter (if you're very organized!) or over an entire academic year -- whatever fits your schedule best.  We recommend that you give yourself at least 2 quarters (i.e., start no later than during Winter Quarter) in order to maximize your options.

The CSC Requirements include (a) completion of eight modules, (b) the CSC Summary Worksheet, and (c) a simple CSC Completion Packet (for keeping track of your progress).
