Careers & Transitions Committee

Announcements

UCS switched from Hoostrak to CAVLink. All students interested in On-Grounds interviewing must sign up for CAVLink and attend an On-Grounds Interviewing (OGI) orientation session, even if you have already attended an OGI orientation session in the past.


UCS website announcement

Job postings and On-Grounds Interviewing will now be managed through a new system called CAVLink. Students will have access to CAVLink and NACELink (nationwide) job postings for work-study, internship, externship, part-time and full-time employment. Please take a moment to register for a CAVLink account.
