The Career Services Office assists students in
finding meaningful careers. The following services are available
to assist in this process.
Career Events: Each year Career
Services coordinates several major career exploration events
that allow students to meet employers on an informal basis to
discuss career options, internship positions, and employment
opportunities.
Online Services: From the Career
Services’ home page, students can view and apply for regularly
updated internships and jobs, sign up for on-campus interviews
and upload resumes for employers to view online. The home page
also provides a complete schedule of Career Services sponsored
career fairs, events and workshops, extensive “how to”
information for resume writing, cover letter writing and
interviewing, links to the top job Web sites and major employer
home pages, graduate and professional school information, links
to career guidance information and an annually updated report on
employment information of recent UW-L graduates.
On-Campus Interviewing: Employers from
business, industry, government, and education visit the campus
to interview students for employment opportunities.
Cooperative Education and Internship
Program: Internships help students integrate classroom with
practical experience through experiences related to their
academic and occupational goals. These experiences, for which a
student can receive credit, include working for regional,
national, and international businesses, government agencies, and
community organizations.
To participate in the Cooperative Education
and Internship Program, students must meet grade point average
and course prerequisites. Students must be at their internship
site during the academic term for which they are registered for
academic credit. Thirty credits may be taken and recorded on the
academic record; however no more than 15 credits are applicable
to a degree. Students should contact the Career Services Office
during their sophomore year to learn more.
