Career Advising for Alumni

Our mission is to help you find post-graduate success. We’re proud of our students who get hired before graduation but realize it might take a little time for you to land your first job. The UW-Green Bay Career Planning & Professional Connections team offers the following resources to UW-Green Bay graduates:

Career Advising Appointments

Alumni of UW-Green Bay are provided up to three appointments with their career advisor, within one year of graduation.  You must have graduated from UW-Green Bay to receive services—attending UW-Green Bay without completing a degree does not qualify. Our staff will verify graduation.  If you no longer have access to schedule appointments in Navigate, call the Career Planning office at 920-465-2163.

Need something more?

If it has been more than one year since graduation, or you need something beyond the scope of three appointments with your career advisor, the Continuing Education department offers a fee-based career coaching service that is available to the community.
