At the UCCS Career & Innovation Center, we understand that international students navigate many transitions in coming to UCCS. Moving to a new country and understanding U.S. academic and work culture can be a big shift from what you are used to. We are here to be a resource in helping international students understand and navigate available opportunities.
Topics we can help international students with include:
- Exploring careers in your field of interest
- Preparing for career fairs and networking in your field
- Practicing for interviews (Learn when to disclose status in the job search process)
- Reviewing resumes, CVs, and cover letters (Learn what information is acceptable to include)
- Finding internships, on-campus work and jobs in the United States or abroad
- Applying to graduate or professional schools
In collaboration with the UCCS International Affairs office, we aim to advocate for and support international students and scholars on campus. Please email the International Affairs Office at international@uccs.edu with questions regarding maintaining your visa status, obtaining U.S. employment authorization, advising related to your status and OPT/CPT questions.
