The Career Services office and parents share a common goal - to help your student prepare for and make sound career decisions. We encourage parents to take an active role in their student's career development and help in motivating them to use the resources available to them. Students should identify the resources available to them from Career Services early in their college career.

We ask parents to take a tour of the Career Services website to get a better understanding of the services we offer to your student. The following are some sites in particular that you may want to view, as well as other links to other University of Hartford pages that provide important information to students and parents.
