Career Services

Located on the third floor of the Stevens Center-Newberg campus, this office is the center for career coaching, career information/education, employment services, graduate school admission preparation, and internship assistance. Students can receive guidance as they discover their mission in life, choose a major, explore occupational options, select an internship or other work experience, find professional employment, or plan to attend graduate school. This career planning can be self-managed by each student through the Student to Professional (STP) program.

Programming and resources include three online career classes (for undergraduate students), valuable workshops, career assessment, coaching and consultation, internship guidance and database, virtual internship center, internships for credit, special events, job-search skills training (cover letter, résumé, interviewing, portfolio, job search strategy), and networking with alumni on our website ( careers.georgefox.edu). Also available is a resource center with occupational, graduate school, and employer information. Permanent, summer, student employment, and internship jobs are posted electronically on JobConnect in Bruindata.

Computerized and Online Career Assessments, Degrees-at-Work Etiquette Dinner, Networking Event, Internship Fair, Oregon Liberal Arts Placement Consortium (OLAPC), Career and Graduate School Fair, Graduate School Focus Week, Job Hunter's Workshop, Practice Interview Day, and Professional Preview Day are special program features. Self-managed job search tools are also available for teachers.
