Career Resources

You serve a vital role in shaping students’ perceptions and expectations for student career preparation. When expectations for student career preparation are embedded throughout the curriculum, data tells us that UWSP students find higher levels of success in securing positions before or immediately after graduation as well as better career mobility over time.
