Collaborate With Us
As trusted mentors and educators, you are often one of the first people students turn to with questions about choosing a major, exploring career paths, finding internships, preparing for graduate school or securing employment after graduation.
The Career Center is here to support both you and your students through a variety of partnership opportunities:
- Career Center staff can visit your classroom and provide engaging presentations on a variety of career-related topics. Complete our request form here to schedule a presentation.
- We can help track student attendance at career-related events and assist with assignments that encourage students to engage with Career Center staff and resources.
- Share our services with students so they can find the resources they need to leverage their degree towards a career.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students. We are excited for the semester ahead and look forward to working with you throughout the year!
Sincerely,
The Purdue University Northwest Career Center Team
