The Career Development Center strives to provide individualized and culturally responsible services and resources to all Humboldt students and alumni. Career services are open and available to all regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin

The Career Development Center is committed to:

• Creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment;

• Encouraging individuals to explore their unique experiences and talents to make informed choices;

The Career Development Center recognizes that the various, often intersecting, identities of individuals can lead to unique considerations during the job and internship search, as well as in the work environment. 

Navigating identity in the workplace is such a deeply personal process. The following resources provide information about assessing prospective employers, networking, mentorship based on identity, and navigating professional fields, as well as other identity-specific resources.
