Dear QCC Parent,
Welcome to the QCC Career Services Web site! The Office of Career Services addresses the career development needs of all Queensborough students and recent alumni. Our goal is to provide advisement about potential careers and majors and educate and guide students as they navigate the job search process and develop lifelong skills needed to begin their professional careers. Our Office posts full-time and part-time job and internship opportunities to the entire college population, working closely with the departments of the College in bringing this information to the attention of all students. We focus on providing job and internship opportunity information that relates to the curricula of the college and also post jobs that can assist students in meeting expenses while they attend classes. Students are encouraged to schedule individual appointments to obtain assistance from career coaches and use the many powerful web-based tools on our website to develop career skills. Employer information sessions, webinars and opportunities to chat directly with career coaches on various topics are scheduled throughout the year. We know that career development is a crucial part of a college education and we encourage your student to take full advantage of the many services provided by our Office. Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Constance Peluso
