| From the Assistant Director: |
Congratulations on your admission into Santa Clara University’s Graduate Business Programs (GBP)! Welcome to SCU!
Many of you may be wondering what type of career services the GBP office offers students. A complete list of resources and services is available at

A complete list of upcoming events is available at http://www.scu.edu/business/graduate-careers/events/index.cfm
There is a lot of information to go through on these links, so let me highlight a few services that I think would be most beneficial to those of you that are just beginning your program.
Recommendations for New Students:
- Job Board – Graduate Business Career Management (GBCM) sends out full-time job postings daily. Please email AnaKarina with your student ID# if you would like to sign up to receive these postings.
- Internship Distribution List –
Bay Area employers interested in recruiting Santa Clara University
’s students send GBCM internship postings throughout the entire year! If you would like to receive these internship opportunities, please send AnaKarina an email with your student ID# and expected graduation date. – GBCM offers an assessment tool that was specifically designed for MBA’s. The tool measures interests, values, and skills and, based on your responses, will offer you some possible career matches. Assessment is an essential part of the job search process and curriculum planning. Email AnaKarina if you would like access to this tool. - Career Planning Workshops -
Plan to attend one of the workshops during your first year. This workshop will walk you through the job search process, from assessments to negotiating the offer.
Networking Workshops – Attending this workshop in your first year is essential to your success in the program and in your career management. Learn the basics of networking and how to work the room.
Happy Hour – Plan to attend at least one of the GBP Office’s happy hours this year. Start mingling and networking with your fellow students and alumni as soon as you can.
