Supporting Your GCU Student: How Career Services Can Help
The biggest influencers in most students' lives are their parents and family members. You support them in every way possible, even if they attend college far from home. The Office of Career Services at Georgian Court University assists your student in navigating college life — and beyond.
From mentoring students along their academic and career path to coaching them in résumé writing and networking, we provide a warm atmosphere for students to thrive. Rest assured that they're attending an institution with resources that will equip them in earning a degree — and in getting the most from it. We share in your goal of seeing your student succeed.
Here's How You Can Support Them
Encourage them to explore their academic and career options. Examining what they want to do in the future can drive their classroom and career goals — it helps them understand why they chose their major.
Suggest they use Career Services during every year of their schooling. With the right planning, they'll be prepared for career success long before they start searching for a job.
Make sure they use GCU CareerLink — GCU's convenient web-based portal to job opportunities and more.
Understand and accept that their goals may shift, and that they may choose a career path you wouldn't have picked for them.
Ask about their plans. If they don't have a career plan yet, encourage them to schedule a career counseling appointment.
