Career Resources for Faculty

Throughout the day, the LVC faculty is likely to be asked for career advice from the freshman with no major, to the sophomore that wants to change majors, to the junior needing experience, to the senior wanting a job or help with graduate school.

To assist you in your role of advisor, Career Services provides resources and services through our web site and classroom presentations. Use the links below to explore some of our web-based resources. To request a classroom presentation or assistance with a class project related to career planning and the job search, contact the Director of Career Services at 717-867-6237.
