Welcome to Career Services!

The Office of Career Services' mission is to support both the economic vitality of the region and the professional development of our students and alumni by assisting in matching top-quality students and graduates with local organizations to meet the needs of the community. Career Services at SVSU is dedicated to providing professional development resources to every student throughout their college career -- free of charge. 

The Career Services website contains numerous student, alumni, and employer resources. There are resume and cover letter templates crucial for making a good first impression on an employer, resources on preparing for life after SVSU, personality assessments to assist undecided students in declaring a major, and more. We look forward to serving as a resource center for students and alumni, providing the appropriate services and information that will assist them in successfully meeting their career objectives and professional development, and providing mutually beneficial links between students and employers.
