The Career Center serves all Temple students to support career exploration, preparation for internship or job searches, connections with employers, learning about graduate school, and many other career development topics. We are here to help from the time you arrive on campus through your graduation, and beyond.
Here are the questions parents and family members frequently ask us:
When should students begin talking with the Career Center?
Your student benefits from getting to know the career center early. Navigating career options and possibilities can be challenging. We often work with students at the very start of their academic career to explore industries and types of jobs. Often students need help identifying their career interests and strengths and we can help with that. As students grow, we see topics shift towards preparing a resume, learning how to search for internships, and how to navigate the workplace. Closer to graduation we work with students on the full-time job search, graduate school application process, and understanding salary negotiation. We hope to see students early and often throughout their Temple journey.
How can students set up an appointment with the Career Center?
Students can easily set up time to speak with one of our career coaches using Handshake or by calling the office. New students will get an email notification of their free Handshake account once classes begin in their first semester. We offer one on one appointments with a career coach, appointments for a professional headshot to use on LinkedIn, and quiet interview spaces that can be reserved for video interviews.
What's the difference between the Career Center and career offices in some of the colleges and schools?
Many schools and colleges at Temple have dedicated career support, in addition to the resources offered by the Career Center. We work closely with our career development partners across campus and offer complementary services to help support your student's needs and goals. Your student doesn't have to choose one office over the other. The Career Center also partners with offices related to student career preparation like Pre-professional Health Advising and Scholar Development and Fellowships Advising. Learn more HERE.
Does the Career Center manage on-campus employment? Where can students look for part-time work?
While we do not manage the Federal Work-Study award process or facilitate on-campus student employment, the Career Center can help students learn how to use resources like Handshake to search for roles off-campus. We encourage students and families to connect with Student Financial Services as the primary resource for federal work-study and on-campus employment questions HERE.
