Office of Career Services

From freshman year through graduation, the Office of Career Services offers a full range of career planning and development programs and resources: career counseling and assessments, and advice on crafting résumés, building a contact network and executing job and internship search strategies. HIRE-UT, an innovative online career management system, gives students access to over 10,000 employer contacts. It also allows students and alumni to seek internships and jobs, post online résumés and receive career advice and notifications.

A full-time internship coordinator offers preparatory workshops and works closely with students and faculty coordinators to assist students in finding appropriate internships. Over 425 internships in the Tampa Bay area or elsewhere are available annually. Students can earn academic credit for internships, and many are paid. Approximately 700 of the Tampa Bay’s most successful business leaders serve on UT boards, advisory councils and other groups, giving students a world of professional connections to explore.
