Career centers on campus are as an essential link between college and your student’s career. We work with everyone from first-year to graduate students, guiding them through career exploration, internships and co-ops, graduate and professional school applications, and the job search.
As a parent, we hope you will become familiar with our programs and our approach to career development and encourage your student to take advantage of our services.
With such a broad range of available majors, it's no wonder that University of Massachusetts Amherst graduates find work in nearly every field.

Advising
Career services professionals in college-based career centers see students on a one-on-one basis in pre-arranged appointments, and informally during walk-in hours. Students do not need to know what career or job they want before their first visit; they don’t need resumes or extensive knowledge of how to interview or network.
We can help students at any stage of their individual career process with:
- self-assessment
- career exploration
- building hands-on experience
- writing resumes and cover letters
- interviewing
- accepting job offers,
- transitioning to work.
Most importantly, we encourage students to begin working with us as early as possible in their college careers to develop a sound long-term plan.
Educational Workshops and Events
Career centers across campus offer in-house workshops, but also reaches out to classes, clubs, residence halls, and events all over campus. We educate students about field experience (internships and co-ops), self-assessment, job searching, resume writing, and interviewing.
We are well known for our large career fairs, but we also host employer information sessions, alumni panels, on-campus interviewing, networking events, and smaller, more informal employer gatherings. Go to the Calendar to see our upcoming events.
