About Career Services
We believe…
- Career development is a journey; it is a life-long process that doesn’t end at graduation.
- Career advising and support is a reciprocal relationship; students get out what they put in.
- Through utilizing our services, students will gain a better understanding of their professional skills, interests and available career pathways, thus feeling more knowledgeable about their options and more confident in their career decisions and overall career journey.
- All students and alumni, regardless of immigration status, racial/ethnic identity, gender identity, etc. deserve access to equitable resources and support through our office.
- Any student who graduates from Nevada State has access to our career support and advising for life.
- Hands-on learning and professional workforce experiences reinforce the academic and professional development process by providing opportunities for direct application of skills, theories and models learned in the classroom.
- Career development is a collaborative effort with other campus stakeholders in order to effectively support and reinforce career competencies (NACE) both in and out of the classroom to create career-ready graduates.
- Fostering positive relationships with local employers and community leaders provides meaningful professional experiences and connections for students while also creating a pipeline of qualified candidates for the Southern Nevada workforce.
We aim to provide our employer partners with the right tools to identify, discuss, and challenge racist beliefs, practices, and norms that may be present in their workplace cultures and educate on the workforce needs of the new majority so that they may become employers of choice for our Nevada State students and graduates.

Success Stories
“The Career Services Center staff helped boost my confidence in my job search by supporting me in revising my application documents and educating me on common inteview questions I would be asked in order to prepare for a job interview. They reminded me to never count myself out and utilize the advice they provided. They helped me land my FT job post-graduation.”
“I attended CSC’s annual Career & Internship Expo in March just before graduation to look for job opportunities. I wanted to be able to meet employers in-person and get a feel for their company culture and values. I applied and received multiple job offers from employers I met at the Expo. I encourage other students to attend events put on by the CSC to expand your network and learn about your job/career options!”
“The Career Services Center has helped me in my journey to get an on-campus job. They helped me with editing my resume, creating a cover letter, and practice interview skills. I am thankful for the help the CSC has given me to help me get my first position on campus to kick start my career journey.”
