UW Tacoma Career Development Center

MAT 106 – 253-692-4421
The UW Tacoma Career Development Center, as part of the educational process at UW Tacoma, provides quality services to assist undergraduate, graduate, and alumni in developing and fulfilling their career objectives.

We provide students and alumni with expertise, resources, and access to potential employers. Our services address the three stages of the career development process:

Self-assessment – discovery of individual strengths and talents
Exploration of the world of work – applying self-knowledge to the discovery of career opportunities
Search for employment or graduate school – integration of knowledge, experience, and skills toward successful professional growth and life beyond UWT

Students and alumni will experience the career development cycle many times during their work lives, and the Career Development Center is available at each step in the process.

Our services and resources include assessment testing (skills, interests, values), help in selecting a major, career counseling, peer advising, resume development, career and internship planning, practice interviews, career library and handouts, job search and networking strategies, and salary negotiation.

Attention Graduate Students

Check out the Career Symposium for Graduate Students & Post-Docs, to be held in the HUB on February 28th in conjunction with Graduate & Professional Education Week. Panels of alumni will discuss how they’re using their graduate degrees in corporations, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and universities. Information will be available soon on the Graduate School's site.

Also, consider attending the upcoming Graduate Student Dependable Strengths Seminar on March 16 & 19. The seminar provides a safe place for grad students to identify patterns of personal and professional strengths—and to discover how career possibilities may relate to those strengths. Participants will write a report that reflects their potential and then learn to draw from this report during career exploration and job search.
