Our Mission and Services
At St. Thomas University Career Services, our mission aligns with the broader goals of the university by fostering the academic and professional success of our students, in line with STU’s commitment to developing ethical leaders for a global community. As a Catholic university that embraces rich cultural and international diversity, we are dedicated to helping students not only excel academically but also cultivate the professional competencies needed to thrive in their careers.
Guided by the university’s core values—Catholic Identity, Global Diversity, Student Success, and Leadership Development—we strive to support each student in becoming a leader who can make meaningful contributions to society. Our services are designed to reinforce these values by equipping students with the tools, resources, and experiences that will prepare them to meet the demands of a dynamic, global job market.
In support of STU’s vision of preparing global leaders across a range of fields—including ministry, science, business, and justice—Career Services offers a comprehensive suite of resources and services to help students build their professional skills. These include:
- Career Coaching: One-on-one support for career exploration, resume writing, and interview preparation.
- Experiential Learning: Internships, co-ops, and other hands-on opportunities that align with STU’s mandatory graduation requirement.
- Employer Connections: Access to local and global employers through Handshake, career fairs, and networking events.
- Workshops and Events: Development opportunities focused on critical thinking, leadership, and professional growth.
Our mission is to ensure that every STU graduate enters the workforce not only with academic knowledge but with the skills, experiences, and networks necessary to be successful and ethical leaders in today’s global community. We look forward to guiding you on your professional journey!
