The Career & Co-op Center has unveiled a new website, career.uml.edu. This new website brings a fresh redesign of the center’s resources and services through integrated tools like Handshake, Candid Career, and Lightcast. Embedded features from Handshake highlight events and jobs, career path and career skill videos are brought in from Candid Career, and Lightcast allows students to learn about job market trends, earnings, and skills associated with various occupations.

While developing the new website, the Career & Co-op Center included elements to assist faculty and staff in supporting students with career discovery and decision-making. This includes a comprehensive listing of activities to support faculty looking for inspiration on integrating career development into existing courses and a presentation request form for inviting career advisors to speak in their classrooms. Visit the faculty & staff section of the site to explore these resources.

Faculty and staff members are encouraged to subscribe to the new site to receive tailored resources and blog posts in their inboxes based on their preferences which can be updated under the Customize Your Notifications section on the right side of the ‘Faculty & Staff’ page.

Join a career advising team member for a tour of the new site to see all its features. Website tours are available as follows:

  • Monday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. via Zoom
  • Monday, Aug. 21 at 12:30 p.m. via Zoom
  • Tuesday, Aug. 22 at 4 p.m. via Zoom
  • Wednesday., Aug. 23 at 9 a.m. via Zoom
  • Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 10:30 a.m. in UCC 490

The website tours will last about 30 minutes and we will reserve an additional 30 minutes to answer questions about the site and ways that you can support students in preparing for their future careers.

RSVP for the session of your choice and you will receive a meeting request for that time slot.

For more information, faculty and staff can visit the website at career.uml.edu or email the office at career_services@uml.edu.
