Faculty & Staff

A campus career center is not the only resource that students turn to as they consider career options and readiness - they also look to faculty, staff, coaches, supervisors, and student organization advisors for guidance. No matter how many appointments, events, workshops, or career fairs we host, it’s important to recognize that faculty and staff are a key part of the career environment at Michigan Tech. Career Services has designed this page with the goal of equipping everyone across campus with the same set of resources to guide students on their career journeys.

Career Services is here to help! Whether you’d like us to come to the classroom for a presentation, help you hire fantastic student-staff, or creatively brainstorm modules and activities for the classroom, our team is ready to collaborate.

Career Readiness Competencies

Everyone at Michigan Tech cares about the success of our students - not only during their time in our programs, but also as they launch into the early stages of their career. The work we do in Career Services is guided by the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, which employers and colleges have identified as the skills that set young professionals up for the most success.

Look familiar? Essential Education seeks to address many of the same topics as the NACE competencies. We are closely aligned with Essential Ed, and work closely with their team to make sure that we are all amplifying efforts, not reinventing wheels. As a campus community, we should all seek to help students build, practice, and articulate these competencies.
