About Us
Our Mission

Our Vision
Banana Slugs changing the world, wherever they are, however they can.
Our Services
Our office works to support undergraduate and graduate students, as well as UCSC alumni. Career Success offers career coaching for students and alumni. We hold career fairs and work with on-campus and off-campus partners and employers to set up recruitment events, on-campus info sessions, workshops, and more. Our office also connects students with experiential learning opportunities on campus. We coordinate the Chancellor's Undergraduate Internship Program (CUIP), the Professional Career Development Program (PCDP), and the GANAS Career Pathways Project. Career Success also manages hiring for on-campus positions and supervises the onboarding process for all new hires. Finally, our website acts as a hub for career resources, including printable handouts and checklists, informational grad school and employment guides, and collections of job boards and external resources.
