Experiential Learning and Career Services
- Faculty and staff work to help prepare students for the next step in their career development through skill building, experiential learning, networking and assistance with job placement.
- Experiential learning opportunities take many forms: service learning, volunteer events, internships (paid and unpaid), observations and field experience. Many academic programs include opportunities or requirements for experiential learning, and the Office of Career Services facilitates even more possibilities for real-world, hands-on experiences.
- Students wishing to pursue an internship should consult their faculty advisors and the Office of Career Services at least a semester in advance. All academic internships (internships for which a student will receive credit) require faculty approval and will contain clear objectives and evaluative criteria.
- The Office of Career Services serves all Concordia University Chicago students and alumni as a source for career exploration, career development strategies and market assessment. Staff members facilitate connections between students and employers and assist with job searches. Students are encouraged to connect with Career Services throughout their time at CUC, as events and services are tailored for various stages of career development.
- The Synodical Placement Office provides placement orientation and manages placement for students in programs offered by the University leading to professional work in The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.
