Partner with Us to Support Student Career Success

The WVU Career Center partners with faculty and staff to equip students with the knowledge, experiences, and career readiness skills they need to achieve their academic and professional goals. Collaboration, communication, and shared responsibility are essential to supporting students in WVU’s decentralized career services model.

Our services support undergraduate and graduate students from the earliest stages of career exploration through internship and job searches, graduate school preparation, and alumni career management. Whether through one-on-one appointments, classroom presentations, career resources, or curriculum integration, we help students explore majors and careers, develop application materials, build professional networks, prepare for interviews, and confidently navigate their career journeys.
