Some of you have asked us what Alumni Career Engagement has to offer.  We’re happy to share information with you about the services and resources we provide, and how we can help.

We serve alumni of all UVA schools, at all stages of their careers.  We can help with:

Most of our career resources can be accessed online, without an appointment.  We offer online tools specifically for UVa alumni and additional curated resources from trusted sources.

Here is a sampling of the resources we offer:
