Career Services at CU Boulder plays a crucial role in the success of our students and alumni. As part of the Student Affairs division, we provide personalized career advising, helping individuals understand how their skills can meet the needs of the world as well as how to articulate their strengths to potential employers effectively. We work closely with each college to deliver focused career education that connects students’ classroom learning with career options. As the recruiting hub on campus, our strong employer partnerships enable us to offer practical skills development and facilitate valuable professional connections. Additionally, we provide essential experiential learning opportunities, such as on-campus jobs and internships. Through these efforts, we bridge the gap between education and career success, ensuring our students find the way to their future goals.
We firmly believe that our strength and creativity stem from the diversity of our community. We acknowledge and celebrate the myriad of identities and backgrounds that each member brings to our campus — including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, religion, socioeconomic status, veteran status, citizenship status, and more. Understanding that these identities do not exist in isolation but intersect in complex ways, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered.
We acknowledge the existence and impact of systemic barriers–like biases and power structures– that can influence career paths and professional development, and we are dedicated to helping navigate these challenges. To achieve this, we strive to understand and help navigate systemic barriers through targeted programs, comprehensive support services, and equitable career development opportunities. We pledge to nurture a culture where differences are not only accepted but are recognized as a source of strength and enrichment for our entire community.
