Truman Career Center

In Chicago, Harry S Truman College's Career Development Center supports students and alumni with career planning and preparation for the transition from college to work. Services include exploring career paths through assessments and counseling, preparing for interviews, and creating or updating resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn accounts. The center also helps students and alumni find jobs, internships, apprenticeships, and other work-based learning opportunities. Job and internship searches are available through Handshake, where users can apply to participating employers, schedule interviews, and access career resources. Work-based learning with employer partners provides hands-on experience, with opportunities ranging from a few weeks to a few years. The center also shares information about recruiting events, job fairs, and workshops.
