USM Integrated Career Services

USM offers career services in an integrative format across the university. The Career Planning Wheel above is a visual representation of available options that may help you navigate your career development path.

Use the Career Planning Wheel above as a directional aid in planning your career development.  Select the hyperlinks below that correspond to the individual spokes of the Career Planning Wheel to gain access to university career services, faculty and staff who are available to assist you in your planning.

• Awareness to Make a Choice
• Learning About Yourself
• Identifying Options
• Getting Information
• Choosing Options
• Getting the Education and Training

• USM Career Development Contacts

As you can see by observing the Career Planning Wheel above, your career development process will not be linear, and so revisiting one or more Career Planning Wheel spokes from time to time may be expected as you learn more about yourself, explore your career interests and the variety of occupational prospects available to you.
