About Career Services
Career Services - A Lifelong Resource
As a parent, you play an important role in your
child's career decisions. Research shows that children
are influenced by your views and expectations about
careers, and until this point, you've guided your child
on a daily basis. Now that your child is at Tufts, you
have a partner in this process:
Tufts Career Services. Career Services is staffed by
professionals, prepared to work with your student right
from the earliest stages of career exploration. Our
support continues beyond Tufts as a lifelong resource to
alumni.
Each student proceeds at a different pace in career
development, with varying degrees of readiness.
Therefore, our staff is available with resources and
services that range from career counseling and
assessments to graduate school advising and job search.
Because your child will need to master the art of
networking as an ongoing career tactic, we've engaged
over 7,000 alumni and parents to offer advice and
mentoring through the
Tufts Career Network.
Just as faculty members educate your child about
liberal arts and engineering, career counselors teach a
curriculum of career development. We give your student
the tools, resources, and opportunities to explore
careers and industries, find internships and jobs, make
sound career decisions, and plan a future as a young
professional.
How can you promote your student's career
development?
- Encourage your student to visit Career Services,
beginning with a review of our
website or a visit to our office and extensive
Career Resource Library in Dowling Hall.
- Emphasize the importance of career education,
exploration, and planning as early as your student
is ready.
- Partner with us to teach students that they are
responsible for their own career development, which
will reflect the time and energy which they invest
through planning and exploration.

child’s career development and take a quiz on Career
