Career Services has three programs to assist in your recruitment efforts

Graduating Students/Alumni Program

The Graduating Students/Alumni program focuses on those students within one year of graduation, graduating seniors, graduate students and alumni. Students can also sign-up for job interviews being held by many of today's top companies. Many of these interviews are held on campus to accommodate students' schedules. Special activities are also held for all UT-Pan American students and alumni in preparation for the career search. These include Career Day, Teachers Job Fair, Law Enforcement Career Expo, Graduate and Professional School Fair, College Students Career Expo, Career Styles Fashion Shows and several job search technique workshops.

Cooperative Education Program

The Cooperative Education (Coop) Program at UT-Pan American offers students an opportunity to gain work experience in an employment situation directly related to their major course of study and assists students in meeting educational, professional and personal objectives. Students are encouraged to register with our program to receive the fullest assistance possible.

Student Employment Services Program

The Student Employment Services Program is a referral program designed for the development and promotion of off-campus opportunities for college students.  The purpose of the program is to list off-campus positions available for students and employers free of charge.  A number of local businesses and agencies contact the office seeking students.
