The goal of the Southern Wesleyan University Career Services staff is to assist all students in meeting their individual career planning needs. We have available a number of resources and programs to help support and assist learners in preparing a professional, proactive approach to career management. Our mission is to enable students and alumni to increase career awareness through assessment, research, experiential learning and the development of job search competencies resulting in informed decision-making. We encourage, through the use of an electronic portfolio, ongoing documentation of acquired skills, experiences and accomplishments in preparation for lifelong career management. We want to play an integral part in assisting you in fulfilling God’s plan for your life.
