Our Crowdfunding Groups
The UCLA Career Center serves as a critical link between the needs of our students to those of our alumni and community employers, working diligently to provide novel, pioneering programs and training to develop their professional skills.
Help the UCLA Career Center continue their important work in career and personal development designed to help UCLA students and alumni stand out and get hired in their position of choice.
As soon as UCLA students arrive on campus, the Career Center introduces students to an array of career possibilities and internships that help them explore the link between their major and career choices.
The Career Center staff offers services and resources to help students make informed career planning decisions through innovative programs, employer connections and more. Donor support provides the Career Center with the opportunity to adjust and grow their program according to fluctuating student needs.
Amid the pandemic and the uncertainties regarding the future of work, the UCLA Career Center has reimagined how to assist students in this virtual world. The Center's focus has shifted to providing resources so that students can successfully search for a job online and ace a virtual interview. Unfortunately for our students, the job market continues to fluctuate with many companies pausing internships or limiting their hiring during this time.
In this competitive job market UCLA needs the support to meet the increasing demand of their services and to produce quality resources for their students.
The UCLA Career Center has a variety of new and exciting opportunities to support over 45,000 students on campus.
The Center's student-centered current needs and future projects are outlined in each of the giving levels.
