Your career goals come into focus with the first job in your field after graduation.

We generate job leads, match graduate skills with employer needs, and help graduates learn the lifelong skills of conducting a job search.

What can the Career Services Department do for you?

Students in the latter part of their program may also be eligible for The Art Institute of Pittsburgh internship program, which augments classroom learning with practical work experience.
