Alumni build successful lives and careers after graduation!

Since 1837, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) have been educating students who go on to be successful alumni.  Hundreds of thousands of HBCU alumni are fully integrated into America’s diverse workforce.

If you are one of the thousands of new college graduates these resources are available to help you launch a successful career as an alumni.

The HBCU Career Center understands that professional development is a lifelong commitment and that career planning doesn’t end at college graduation. In fact, for many HBCU alumni, graduation happened before you officially launched a serious job or career search effort. You are not alone! From career articles to grad school information, these resources will help HBCU alumni keep career success a lifelong goal. Send us other resources and we will be happy to add them here. Contact us if you know of other resources that would be helpful to emerging professionals.
