Career Center

This Student Development Center, located in the Student and Administration Center, A347, assists students in making career, academic, and life planning choices. Students wishing assistance in their career choice, choosing a college major, or in gaining skills which will aid them in the job hunting process, may visit the Career Center. A variety of career and academic information is available, including DISCOVER, a computerized guidance program. Student Development faculty are available to assist in the decision-making process through individual counseling and testing as well as career planning courses and seminars.

Job placement is available by using the Collegiate Employment Network. This password-protected job listing system annually catalogs more than 18,000 Chicago-area jobs. Individual passwords are created in the Career Center for each student job seeker. Students have the added advantage of posting their profiles in CEN for employers’ viewing. Harper students can gain the skills necessary for successful job searching, resume writing and interviewing by making a counselor appointment or attending a Job Search workshop.
