Resources

We recognize and appreciate the fact that professional development and career-related conversations continuously happen all around campus. Our team of supportive faculty and staff across the UCCS campus frequently connect with students on these important topics. We believe that it takes our greater campus community to best serve our students.  We want to support faculty and staff with the tools and resources needs to assist students as they explore their career and professional development needs.

We have designated Career Coaches responsible for developing and presenting in-class presentations, coordinating major/school specific information sessions, introductions into our services, career assignments for your Canvas shell and anything career related. Faculty and staff are integral to developing a culture of professional development at UCCS.
