Insalaco Center for Career Development

Preparing for a successful future demands more than just obtaining a quality education. Truly successful students begin to develop career planning competency as first-year students and build upon this throughout their academic and professional lives. The Insalaco Center for Career Development provides the resources and assistance necessary to turn academic achievement into career opportunity.

This approach helps ensure that students build flexibility into their career plans. The Center serves all university students and alumni with its career development resources and team of professional staff. The mission of the Center is to prepare students for employment, graduate school or professional school and to manage their careers throughout their working lives.

The Insalaco Center coordinates the Guaranteed Placement Program, which is designed to connect students’ academic and co-curricular learning in order to position them for success in today’s, and tomorrow’s, job markets.
