The Career Center is your student’s hub for career services, professional advice, and personal development during and after their time at Florida State University. The Career Center serves students, alumni, and several additional members of the FSU community when it comes to finding jobs after college, obtaining an internship or experience in a field, applying for graduate school, and general professional development.

Each semester, the Career Center hosts its Career Fair Week on campus for the community. While this year is different from previous years due to the Coronavirus, you and your student can rest assured that this valuable week of events will continue to be offered virtually.
