Wherever you are on your path to discovering your ideal career, we have the expertise to help.
Career Exploration and Student Employment is your go-to resource if you're pre-major or exploring your options. Our exploration process provides you with support and guidance each step of the way – from beginning to think about your future to launching your career.
If you are in the exploratory stage, we also encourage you to visit career centers for schools in which you have an interest, in addition to the CESE.
Once you declare a major, you’ll work with the career center dedicated to your school for advising tailored to your academic discipline.

Maurer School of Law Career Services and Kelley School of Business Graduate Career Services do not use Handshake, so be sure to check their individual websites listed on this page.
