The UC San Diego Career Center helps our students determine and fulfill their career goals. The Center delivers a wide range of services across two programmatic units:

The Career Education and Advising team (CEA) empowers students to develop and utilize their self-awareness, professional development skills, and proven resources to identify and pursue career employment and professional school admission.

The Industry Engagement team (IE) connects students with bona fide career opportunities, as well as experiential positions, including internships, part-time on- and off-campus jobs, work-study positions, and Peace Corps service.

The staff members of the Career Services Center are guided by five core values:

We have a variety of valued clients – employers, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni – and students are our highest priority.

We strive to ensure an equitable level of service for all students.

We pursue staff training, strategic partnerships, innovative technology, and regular assessment to ensure that our services achieve optimal outcomes.

We are courteous, compassionate, and to the greatest degree possible, give our clients personalized attention.

We support each other and share our creativity, expertise, and talents with all members of our staff.
