Welcome to the Center for Career Services

 

"When it comes to finding your career, it's not what you know that counts, but who you know."

The Center for Career Services at Southern Connecticut State University begs to differ with this old adage. What really counts is neither the "what" nor the "who." It's both. 

Whether you are an employer looking for that right-fit candidate or a student  planning your future, selecting a major, and eventually choosing a career, you need to know the "who." That's us, the people with the connections - the staff at the Center for Career Services.

We'll introduce you to the "what," which is the wide range of services we provide. Visit us in Schwartz Hall 102 or call us at 203-392-6536

Our Mission

As an integral part of the University's Academic Philosophy, the mission of the Center for Career Services is to develop and maintain innovative programs which will enable students to explore, define, prepare for, and realize their career objectives.  Also, we seek to initiate ongoing relationships with community groups, employers, and organizations for the purpose of developing job opportunities while supporting the enrollment management initiative of the University, in the areas of recruitment and retention.
