Career Development Center

 

Career Development Center Mission Statement:

The Career Development Center empowers individuals to achieve their professional goals by providing exceptional career guidance, resources, and opportunities. We foster a supportive and inclusive environment where all individuals can explore their potential, develop career readiness competencies, and connect with meaningful career opportunities. Our mission is to inspire lifelong career growth and professional success.

Career Development Center Philosophy:

The Career Development Center SXU provides students with the ability to choose a meaningful career and education pathway that is guided by providing career readiness essentials which include resume and cover letter writing; mock interviewing; and experiential learning opportunities encompassing internships, networking, job shadowing, and employment placement. The Center provides support for students in their search for meaningful career paths through self-assessment and career planning, internship resources, alumni networking opportunities, and job-search-skills training. Career development, alongside self-betterment, is one of two greatest extensions of life-long learning.

Career Development practices at Saint Xavier are guided by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) career readiness competencies and core values as well as guidelines provided by the Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) in Higher Education.

The Career Development Center is located in Warde A209.  To schedule an appointment for career advising, go through Navigate. Should you have any questions, please email the department at careerdevelopmentFREESXU.

If you need assistance with academic advising, please visit the  Student Advising Center or email them at studentadvisingFREESXU.
