The Career Services staff is a select group of professionals representing a wide array of backgrounds. All are trained in current trends and provide a variety of programs and services in career planning, life planning and development.
Professional staff can assist students in career exploration and effective career decision-making. The Career Services Center offers ED 160, Career and Life Planning, in the fall and spring semesters for two credit hours. A&S 170 (PACE) Career and Life Development is offered every spring semester for three credits.
Career planning services include choosing an academic major, assessment of interests and values, goal clarification and enhancing skills such as resume writing, interviewing and conducting a job search. Students have access to a library of current reference materials related to career planning. Students may schedule individual appointments with career counselors for purposes of career assessment.
To enhance placement of UMKC students and graduates, Career Services maintains on-campus recruitment programs, sponsors job fairs and career days and develops and maintains contact with local, national and international employers.
Students can find part-time jobs, internships and cooperative education programs to supplement their income, as well as gain work experience while in school. Visit our Web site (www.career.umkc.edu) and watch the University News for activities sponsored by Career Services and for on-campus recruiting schedules.
All students preparing for graduation can be a part of the employment database and on-campus recruiting program. This provides immediate and direct access to full-time career opportunities. Full-time and part-time positions, internships and on-campus interviewing information can be accessed from our Web site.
Career Services also provides a full range of career planning and development services for alumni of the University of Missouri system, alumni of other colleges and universities and the community. An employment database provides information on full-time jobs that are available to registrants. For additional information, call (816) 235-1636.
