The Career Center educates, empowers and equips students to achieve their professional goals by becoming active participants in the process. Success requires developing a strategy. This strategy starts freshman year, but we are dedicated to supporting students needs at all stages of the process.
Our Mission
The Citadel’s goal is to ensure that students are encouraged to participate in early career exploration, weekly employer engagement and development of proactive job search skills and professional goals. Participating in these activities allows students to be able to secure competitive employment or admission to graduate school at graduation.
For the first time ever, The Citadel Career Center was awarded a grant to help more cadets and students achieve their professional goals. The $30,000 grant – provided by Boeing – went a long way for eight cadets and students who interned at various organizations in Charleston over the summer and fall. Grant money also went to several faculty and student projects, such as the Supply Chain Management and Port Club and Citadel STEM project. 
As The Citadel prepares cadets and students for success in the workforce, the Career Center gives them the tools needed to find the right job.
More than 120 cadets and students are another step closer to their dream jobs after stopping by Daniel Library for the Career Center’s job fair prep event, “Ready, Set, Hire!”
