Career Center
On the Scottsbluff Campus, the Career Center is housed within the Student Life and
Engagement Center. Members of the Dean of Students and Student Life staff on the
Scottsbluff Campus and the Student Service Coordinators on the Alliance and Sidney
Campuses are available to assist students in exploring their career goals and linking
their goals to their educational planning.
The Career Center maintains up-to-date job search and job market resources. Students
can research various occupational areas in the Career Center utilizing print and online
resources.
The goal of the Career Center is to provide students with comprehensive career services
to help supplement their classroom experience, make wise vocational choices, and
assist in their search for employment. Here are some of the ways the Career Center can
help students:
• Part-time and full-time job listings/openings are posted on bulletin boards in the
main building and at
wncc.edu/student-life/student-services/career-center/
external-job-listings
• Career and lifestyle exploration and assessment – a personality and interest inventory
are given and interpreted on an individual or group basis; job shadowing is available
• Job search skills — organizing, networking, and using resources to get the job you want
• Résumé and cover letter writing assistance
• Interviewing techniques, including video-recorded practice interviews
• Hands-on internship/cooperative education, and service learning opportunities
The Career Center has a resource room full of excellent materials: computer programs,
books, videos, etc., to help students research careers, job market information, and
employability skills.
In Alliance, the Career Center is located in the administrative area. In Sidney, the Career
Center is located in the library.
