Graduate Employment

Once students have completed their respective program of study, it is time to search for full-time, entry-level industry positions. If students have taken advantage of industry speakers and events sponsored by Career Services, joined industry and trade groups, and attended professional organization meetings held on campus, they have already started the networking process. Our comprehensive database of companies covers a wide-range of employers. In addition, we have five highly trained and dedicated Career Services Advisors who work in partnership with each graduate to secure full-time positions in the field.

Each quarter as a requisite of graduation, Career Services hosts a Graduate Portfolio Show where industry professionals are invited to view the work of our talented graduates. This is the first step in assisting our graduates with their job search. Our dedicated advisors aid in the entire job search process, from resume preparation and interview techniques, to uncovering job opportunities and coordinating interviews when appropriate. We are truly committed to your success; however, graduates must be equally dedicated to their job search. Finding a full-time job is a full-time job.

If you recently graduated and need to update your employment information with us, please fill out our Employment Confirmation Form so we can keep your graduate file current.

The college cannot guarantee employment or any particular level of compensation following graduation. Graduates who confine employment considerations to the Chicago metropolitan area may limit employment opportunities available to them.
