The successful candidate will be responsible for providing career and employment-planning services to both current and former students, supporting faculty in career development, and promoting job and internship opportunities with employers. This role is pivotal in engaging and connecting with students from the beginning of their academic journey through to their transition into the workforce, with a focus on increasing their employability upon completion of their professional-technical degree or certificate.

The specialist will also work to integrate guided pathways program outcomes into students' employment plans and skill development.
