At the UAS Career Center, we deeply appreciate the diverse perspectives and stories that all of our students, including students of color contribute to our campus. Your experiences enrich our university and community, and the skills and values you’ve gained from your past experiences are important to hiring managers and committees. No matter your field of interest or your previous experiences, our staff are ready to guide you toward research, internships, student jobs, volunteer opportunities, and more!

This web page is designed to be open to any and all University of Alaska Southeast students, faculty and staff regardless of race, color, national origin, or sex, and is consistent with all current governing federal and state nondiscrimination law.

The Career Center is a space where you can find support for your questions, be your authentic self, and access resources to aid you as you enter the workforce. Whether you’re a freshman, graduating senior, or alumni, we recommend scheduling an in-person or virtual appointment with a UAS career advisor via Handshake.
