Here are four career development resources available to your student at Gonzaga University:

Counseling Center
College Hall #303 - (509) 313-4054 - ccac@gonzaga.edu

Individual career counseling invites a student to become actively involved in the process of researching and planning for one's career. It is highly recommended that a student, by graduation, is able to understand their skills, interests, values, and personality characteristics, and to be able to articulate these to a potential employer. Through the career counseling process, a student has the opportunity to work with a counselor to clarify the vital question:  "Who Am I?"  This process would likely entail completing the Strong Interest Inventory and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, and using the SIGI 3 computer career exploration program as tools to systematically examine one's life in terms of developing a career plan.  Personal agency (being self -aware and actively developing one's potential) is the message we relay to students as we assist them in developing realistic strategies to reach their career goals.

Career Center
Crosby Center #211 - (509) 313-4234 - careercenter@gonzaga.edu

The Career Center provides students and alumni with career support, opportunities and connections, translating the Gonzaga experience to meaningful life's work. 

Career information, training, programs, and services are provided in order to help students and alumni clarify, and  articulate career goals that are consistent with their individual interests, abilities, and field of study.

How can I enhance or fine-tune my résumé? What companies and organizations recruit on campus? How can I practice my interview skills? What resources can I access regarding my career options? What are the employment trends within my field of study?  How can I find an internship? These are all questions that can be answered in the Career Center.

Gonzaga Alumni Mentor Program (GAMP)
Crosby Center #213 - (509) 313-4048 - gamp@gonzaga.edu

GAMP assists individuals in exploring alternative career fields and in developing a network of contacts by matching them with alumni mentors in a particular career field.

Making decisions about a future career field can be an intimidating experience for students with limited work experience.  With the help of an experienced mentor, students can explore the realities of the workplace and make career decisions that are aligned with their skills, interests and values. These relationships also serve as training exercises in the art of networking, interviewing and general professional protocol. These relationships serve as the foundation for a future professional network. GAMP also organizes networking events on campus and regional events in Spokane, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, and New York. These events allow students to practice their networking skills and to make connections with alumni and friends in a variety of professional fields.

Student Employment
College Hall - # 126 (509) 313-6588 - rambo@gonzaga.edu

Gonzaga University offers work opportunities that are designed to help off-set the cost of education while providing students with valuable work experience. Student Employment is committed to providing resources to all students who wish to find on or off-campus employment while attending Gonzaga. Student Employment assists students with employment but does not provide job placement. Please come and visit us in Student Employment, College Hall, Room 126.
