UAB Career Center

AY19 has indeed been exceptional in the UAB Career Center. As you read through this annual report, the data will attest to more students engaging with career advising and programming. Thousands of students connected with hundreds of eager employers throughout the year in hopes of landing that dream internship or career opportunity. Hundreds of career development workshops were presented to thousands of students, preparing them for post-graduation success outcomes. To date, the primary reason people choose a college is for job and career opportunities, and the UAB Career Center is entirely on board with supporting this noble cause. With limited resources and career consultants, the UAB Career Center had to innovate its service offerings to ensure UAB students received the meaningful content they needed to pursue and accomplish their goals. This year, the Peer Career Advisor Program grew from two to six, supporting three career consultants. These well-trained college students reviewed resumes, provided event support, and triaged all drop-in appointments. These PCA’s were a massive part of our success this year, helping meet the increased demand for career advising and classroom workshop request. UAB Career Center would like to voice its appreciation for the following partners: Hill Student Center, Campus Dining, Parking & Transportation, Athletics, University Recreation, Student Housing & Residence Life, Student Multicultural & Diversity Programs, Student Involvement and Leadership, Student Media, Off-Campus Student Services, Veteran Services, Division of Student Affairs Marketing & Communication, Assessment & Planning, College of Arts and Sciences, School of Education, School of Engineering, COLLAT School of Business, School of Nursing, School of Public Health, School of Health Professions, VMASC, and Admissions.
