Workshops and events

We offer various topics in informal workshops and support other events like career fairs or various organizations' onsite visits. Details for these are on the Career Services events calendar or Handshake @ Illinois. 

Need a speaker for your RSO? We offer presentations to organizations and RSOs affiliated with LAS. We will tailor our conversation to your group. We ask that you make a request as early as possible given our schedules fill up each semester. Reach out to us at las-careerservices@illinois.edu.

Career courses

Career courses offer an in-depth approach to exploring majors and careers, as well as developing decision making and career management skills.

Classes offered by the LAS Career Services team are open to all LAS students. Some academic departments also offer career development and internship courses tailored to their majors. Students are encouraged to connect with their academic advisors regarding how these classes fit with their program and academic progress.
