Career Resources

Career Services offers career resources at both the Senior campus (Library 100) and at the COT (A002). Professionals are available by appointment at both locations to discuss your choice of major and career, job search strategy, internships and more.

Use Montana Career Information System (MCIS) software to learn about Occupations & Employment and Education & Training in Montana and throughout the United States.  

Take on-line assessments to match occupations with your work values, interests, and skills. Learn about the link between education & earnings as you plan your career. 

You'll also want to explore Co-Op Ed, an academic program that links students with work experiences in their major field of study where they earn credit--and often a salary! In 2008-09, 225 students earned 878 internship credits.  You can participate, too!
