As part of our commitment to your success and ensuring you get real value from your time with us, Oakton's Career and Transfer Center (CTC) offers a variety of resources and services to prepare you for a meaningful career. These services include:
From one-on-one guidance from career and transfer coaches to job coaching and workshops, you'll be well prepared to select courses and a major that fit your personality and interests. Then you'll learn the skills to stand out and be a success when you look for a job.
Even better: All these services are available for free to currently enrolled students and to alumni with an Oakton-awarded degree or certificate.
Career and Transfer Center is a member of CCJobNet, which is a part of the Illinois Community College Consortium. Students can view job listings posted on the Illinois Community College Consortium. Registration is free.
Because we aim to be a resource for our whole community, we also offer career-search tools for free at the Career and Transfer Center during school business hours. These include job search workshops, our online job board, computer-assisted career guidance software and useful tools such as computers, printers and fax machines.
Career and Transfer Center also coordinates the Student Employee Program. Student Employment offers on-and off-campus employment opportunities for students to earn income while enhancing their educational and professional experience.
