Career Services is here to help your son/daughter succeed both in college and in the workforce. Our programs are beneficial to students from their freshman year through graduate school. Career Counseling can help students choose a major and learn what occupations are available to each major. The Internship program allows students to work in their field, receive academic credit, and may get paid. Our Student Career Connections job program lists part-time job openings available in the Quincy area for your student to pursue while in school. We offer advice and assistance for any job search.

Encourage your son/daughter to take advantage of our services -- we have a lot to offer from choosing a major to finding that full-time job after graduation.
