WELCOME TO THE CAREER SERVICES OFFICE
Welcome to the Career Services Office (CSO) at Penn State Altoona.  We’ve developed this web page to enhance your understanding of how we can enrich your students experience while in college and after graduation.  (see our Career Planning Timeline)

Like you, we have your student’s best interests in mind.  We provide a variety of programs and services to help students:
  1. develop life-long career planning goals,
  2. explore academic programs in combination with their interests, skills and abilities in order to declare a satisfying major, and
  3. develop the skills necessary to:
    • write effective resumes and cover letters
    • perform a successful job search
    • apply to graduate school
We know that college, major exploration, graduation and job searching are stressful for students and parents alike.  Our staff is prepared to help you.  We would like to introduce ourselves and invite you to use this site to learn more about our programs and services.
