Here are some answers to common questions from UAGC faculty about Career Services.

How does an online Career Services office differ from the traditional brick-and-mortar model?

  • Because our students are spread worldwide and need resources at different times via digital platforms, Career Services focuses on creating innovative, fully accessible career resources. Like a brick-and-mortar career center, they meet students one-on-one in person or via phone, present to students and faculty via Zoom or in-person, and develop educational materials. But they also look for ways to broaden their impact in the digital realm. A résumé worksheet, for instance, becomes a Rise module featuring videos, role-playing, and/or knowledge checks. When Career Services staff members develop an accessible PDF about crafting an elevator pitch, they expect that resource to be accessed thousands of times. And, yes, they even plan, direct, and hold virtual career fairs.

A career resource in my course seems outdated or broken. What do I do?

  • Email CareerServices@uagc.edu and cc your lead faculty or program chair—list the course number and describe the issue. The more detail you can provide about the location and nature of the problem, the better. 

I’m developing a course and would love input or help from career services. What do I do?

Can Career Services develop assignments or resources for my course or program?

  • Yes! Career Services staff take great pride in developing learning activities and career resources that align with course and weekly learning outcomes. Their faculty support professionals hold at least a master’s degree and have experience teaching at the college level. Email Matt Phillips at Matthew.Phillips@uagc.edu and cc Rebecca Davis at Rebecca.Davis1@uagc.edu.

Are there ‘plug-and-play career assignments to make it easy for me to include career content?

  • Nope! This approach—while it seems efficient—has already been tried at UAGC, and ‘plug-and-play’ assignments or activities often do not appropriately align with learning outcomes. When students encounter career content in the classroom, that content should be contemporary in approach, directly related to learning outcomes, and empowering for students academically and professionally.

I have an innovative idea related to Career Services. Can I meet with someone to share my ideas?

I’m organizing a webinar or speaker series. Can someone from Career Services speak?
