Helping our students find employment is the main goal of the Herzing University Career Development department; we help with your job search from day one of your enrollment with us.

Career Development will assist in searching for part-time employment while in school, work experience in your field while in school, or employment within your field after graduation. We help our students prepare resumes, cover letters, reference lists, follow-up documentation, and any other professional documents required for your job search.

We assist in job searching and interview preparation as well as general career search advice. Sometimes having another person on your side while searching for the right career fit is a help in itself. Your Career Development Department at Herzing University is here to help, so please use us as a resource!
