Career Services is divided into three programs designed to assist students throughout their time at The University of Texas-Pan American.

 

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, Health Sciences and Human Services Career Day, Graduate and Professional School Fair, Internship and Job 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 Program

The Student Employment 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.

 

Other Services

The Career Information Center houses sources of occupational information; registers and directories; information on hundreds of different companies, school districts and government agencies; fellowship/scholarship; and graduate/professional school catalogs.  Also found in the Career Information Center are various job vacancies from the local area and across the country.
