Job boards and career fairs are open to the community; however, we are unable to provide counseling services to individuals who are not enrolled credit students. Services are available to community members at the Business Employment Resource Center in Westminster by calling 410-386-2820.
Career Development is a lifetime journey. Most people change career paths three or four times during their lives. Our career workshops help you make important decisions.
If you are uncertain about how to begin making a career decision, writing a resume, and organizing for a job search, attend any of our workshops and schedule a follow-up appointment with the career counselor to discuss your specific needs.
Career workshops are held throughout each semester. Space is limited to the first 25 people and registration is required. You will receive a room assignment at the time of registration. To register, call Career Development at 410-386-8523.
