University Career Services & Student Success
At the heart of Georgia State’s College-to-Career Initiative lies our commitment to integrating career preparedness deeply into students’ academic journeys. Through this initiative, we enhance curricula to empower students with essential career competencies, bridging these skills seamlessly with their major coursework and enabling them to showcase their proficiency in versatile skills.
Welcome, Campus Partners!
