First-Year Students

It's never too early to start using the Business Career Center. We can help you decide on a major, find a part-time job/internship, or help create a resume.

The College of Business encourages first year students to attend career fairs to increase their self awareness and career development. A career fair allows exploring students to see types of employers, internships and entry level jobs that may be of interest and available in the future. Furthermore, the earlier students experience a career fair, the more prepared, polished and professional they will be at subsequent events.

International Students

Students come from all over the world to study at the College of Business. The Business Career Center understands finding an internship or post-graduation opportunity can be challenging for international students, but the Career Coaches are dedicated to helping all business students find success. International students are encouraged to meet with a Career Coach to discuss their options and explore opportunities.

Career Readiness Certificate for International Students

The Business Career Center is excited to announce a new program created specifically for international students and their job search. The purpose of the Career Readiness Certificate (CRC) is to help international students prepare for a job search in the United States. The students who complete the CRC will receive a Career Readiness Certificate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Business Career Center.

The Career Readiness Certificate for international students helps students explore how to make use of their time while in the US so they can be successful when seeking employment. A combination of required tasks and a variety of workshops will build on the knowledge and skills that students develop in the regular curriculum.
