How Can Faculty and Staff Career Services Help Me?
Career Success means different things to different people - everyone's situation is unique. For some employees, career success could mean moving up in your current career path, or transferring to different departments or Schools within the University, or even changing your career direction. It could also mean staying right where you are and revitalizing your current position. For others, it could mean redirecting your attention to your life outside of work and gaining greater satisfaction there.
Faculty and Staff Career Services has programs, tips, and tools for helping you set and achieve your job and career goals. Most employees will find that their career path at the University generally fits into one of these four CAREER CHOICES:
Enrichment: enhance your skills and revitalize your satisfaction in your current position
Advancement: find a new position or advance in your career
Transition: explore a new career direction or make a career change
Retirement: get ready for work during retirement

ECS programs and services offered are designed around each of these four career choices.
