Career Services Center
The Career Services Center (CSC) works to educate and support current students and alumni of Nevada State University in navigating their career development journeys by providing 1:1 career advising and curated career resources, hosting career-development workshops/events, and facilitating employer recruitment events. As a state institution of higher education, we prepare the new majority of students for career success and economic mobility to support the needs of the Nevada workforce and give back to their communities.
Our services include, but are not limited to:

Career assessment tests can also be administered to help students make an informed career path and academic program decisions.
- Career Planning: Planning for a career requires careful attention that begins freshman year. We want to help you be successful from start to finish.
- Internship Search Assistance: Internships provide valuable, practical work experience that help position students as more viable, competitive candidates when searching for jobs post-graduation.

- Interview Preparation: Career Advisors help students learn basic interview skills and how to present themselves before, during and after job or internship interviews. Mock interviews can also be conducted to provide 1:1 feedback on interview answers and skills.
- Networking Strategies: Building your professional network is essential to your career success. Learn different networking strategies to connect with professionals and identify potential opportunities.
- Graduate School Assistance: Career Advisors can students with the graduate school search and selection process as graduate school may be a necessary step in a student's career goals.
The CSC encourages students to begin their career development journey their first year of enrollment by meeting with one of our Career Advisors to clarify, learn, and plan for their career path. Meeting with Career Advisors early and often in your academic journey is important as career planning and development is a process; at least a third of college students refine or change their career goals within the first few years of starting college (National Center for Education Statistics; 2017). While students may not always see career planning as necessary until their Senior year, students who spend time each year in their academic journey thinking about their career preparation will feel more confident and be in a better position when it is time to begin job applications and be interviewed by employers.
Once students graduate and become alumni, they can continue to utilize our services for life! Alumni can also support CSC events and initiatives by sharing their own career experiences and informing current students of the career possibilities with their degree from Nevada State.
