We take placement rates for our graduates seriously. As you close out your academic career, we want to help you land your first job. 

If you have already accepted a job, congrats! Pretty please respond to the university post-graduation survey that will be directly sent to you later this month. It's important to us that you fully complete it. 

If you are still looking for a job, then keep reading...

Here is how it works. You must read carefully and follow all steps.
