Students who are graduating should register with Career Services at least nine months prior to their graduation date.

Career Preparation Program
The Career Services Office is introducing a Career Preparation Program that encompasses the major areas of skill within career preparation such as mastering the Resume, Job Search Strategies, Networking, Interviewing, and Career Exploration. Upon completion of this program, you will receive a completion Certificate in Career Preparation that demonstrates your commitment to your professional growth. The completion of this program will be a great addition to your resume and documents your conscientious efforts in career planning.*
While the program must be completed prior to graduation, you can earn this Certificate within a two-year span. The requirements are simple and can be completed in any order, although we recommend that you begin with Registering with Career Services and visiting the Career Service Office for your resume review.
Since the Certificate has been designed to demonstrate an extensive understanding of the career planning/job search process, each requirement must be fulfilled by the listed events or tasks. Completing multiple activities in one category, attending other Career Service or Florida Tech events, while valuable to your career education, will not fulfill the requirements of the Certificate.
*Note that this is a non-credit bearing certificate that will not be included on your transcript.
