Welcome!

The MU Career Center is committed to partnering with faculty and staff to provide them with a digital toolkit of articles, resources and instructional materials to help empower Mizzou students to discover and achieve their career goals. 

Become a career advocate

Faculty and staff interested in championing student career development are encouraged to attend our Career Development Network (training sessions), subscribe to our monthly newsletter, and become a (free!) member of the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). These are the best ways to expand your knowledge of career development and to integrate career readiness into your advising and classrooms.

Develop student career readiness

Career readiness is a foundation of core competencies that broadly prepare college students for success in the workplace. The 8 competencies were developed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and apply to all students in every major. Faculty and staff have the unique opportunity to help students develop those skills and reflect on how their experiences in and out of the classroom are preparing them for the future, using the language of career readiness.
