CAREER LINK

Career Link provides career development services to Ivy Tech students and alumni. The  seal in the Ivy+ Career Link name represents a "plus" for our students! It signifies that we have reimagined the way we provide career development services to provide career coaching that's high-impact and transformative for our students, plus provides opportunities to engage directly with Indiana employers while in school that can lead to employment after graduation.

  • Career Development Portfolio — The best way to showcase why an employer should hire you; includes your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and work-and-learn experiences
  • Work-and-Learn Experiences — Opportunities to connect with employers and gain real-world experience in careers that interest you while you're still in school
  • Finding a Job — Help with finding a job after graduation
