Professional Clothing Closet
We believe access to good quality professional attire can help our students feel more confident in themselves and present a more polished representation of their “career selves”. In 2017, partnering with the Jamil Niner Food Pantry, the Career Center began providing new opportunities for student education around professional presentation and an expansion of acquired clothing to meet the student needs. Over the past three years, this operation has blossomed into providing professional clothing to students the day of career fairs, collaboration with Alumni groups, which brought in more than 500+ items, sponsorship from local employers, individuals, and the University. Special thanks to IKEA and Sherwin Williams for help in this endeavor.
Unpaid Summer Internship Scholarship
Internships are an important way to get insights into a career field, obtain valuable professional experience, and develop new skills. Sometimes students themselves in a position having to choose between a part-time job that pays for college expenses and taking on an unpaid internship that can lead to greater career opportunities in the future. Established in 2018, the Career Center provides internship scholarships for unpaid internships positions. Since inception, the program continues to see an increase in applicants, alumni and employer sponsorship, and a partnership with the 49er Family Fund!
