Students and alumni in The School of Business at Portland State University will have a new place to turn for help in launching or furthering their careers when the new Career Center opens next Wednesday, May 25.
The new center, located in suite 410 inside the Karl Miller Center, will provide virtual and in-person services catered specifically to PSU’s business students of all levels based on where they are in their developmental journey.
Becky Sanchez, Executive Director of Career & Academic Services, met with faculty directors, staff, students, the Graduate Business Alumni Council and local employers, and has spent the last year creating the useful career services that students and alumni need and local employers expect.
When the center opens, all business students and alumni will have access to monthly workshops, mock interviews, networking opportunities, employer panels, AI resume building software, professional headshots, and a plethora of other information.
Graduate students and alumni will have access to dedicated career coaches to ensure all of their needs are met. Find your program or certificate below, and connect with your career coach:
