  Career Coaching

  
  
  

  Many students enter college with questions about how to explore and select a major. Even those who have declared their major often face a dilemma when they need to find a career direction. Our Career Coaches help students navigate their way through this important decision making process and test their career choices.

  Professional Development

  
  
  

  Professional development is deciding what type of job you want, determine the skill level and behavior needed to perform the essential tasks and work in a team environment, and discovering and planning ways to get those skills. Professional development also includes lifelong learning and reinvesting in marketable skills to keep you employable. You become an entrepreneur of your own future!

  Computerized Career Services Systems

  
  
  

  Career Services invites students to use the computerized career information software for career planning activities, job search/ employer listings, skill inventorying and career exploration. A list of the systems can be found at Career Services On-line Resources.
  

  Cooperative Education

  
  
  

  Cooperative Education (Co-op) is a program in which students combine formal academic study with periods of practical work experience in business, industry, government, or service organization. Students participating in the Co-op program receive academic credit from the University and are paid by the employer for experience gained on the job. For employers, Cooperative Education produces an opportunity to observe prospective future employees and influences the direction of higher education. Contact rroberts@desu.edu for questions or feedback.
