Career Center
(949) 824-6881

UCI’s Career Center houses an active, energetic team of professionals committed to providing students individually tailored advice and assessment, workshops and seminars on job-related issues, career fairs, on-campus interviews, and related events, and job and internship opportunities. Students considering graduate or professional school can also visit the center for information and assistance.

Help us guide your student along the path to career success!

Parents are encouraged to work with us to support students. Students who begin the process early are more successful in their job search. Suggest to your student to begin career exploration early to allow them to test career options and explore a variety of choices. Ask if they have visited the Career Center.
