Career Support

Open doors to an entirely new future.

When you leave or are still in the military and come to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, your main goal beyond getting a degree is to find a new career. Let the Chez Veterans Center help you with your career development. We offer personalized, one-on-one career guidance and help you identify career options that align with your skills and passions. We’ll share how to translate your military experience into civilian language, link you with vital industry mentors, assist with finding internships and jobs, and provide access to one of the largest alumni networks in the nation.
