ABOUT US

The Hampton University Career Center is centralized and located on the first floor of the campus Multi-Purpose building. Office hours are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. All activities of the office are established and function towards assisting students with developing meaningful career goals. The Career Center offers a wide range of programs and services for students, alumni and employers. These services include but are not limited to fall and spring career fairs, a Graduate and Professional School fair, employer sponsored information sessions and workshops, seminars, co-op/internship program, career counseling and career assessment tools and (Symplicity) PirateLink, a mobile app that is available to students and alumni 24/7. PirateLink offers students and alumni the opportunity to search for jobs and internships.

We encourage students to use the Career Center services and begin their professional development process during freshman year.  By the time they become seniors, students will have the skill sets and experience necessary to complete in the global marketplace. That is why so many Hampton University students are employed, in their fields upon graduation or, they go on to graduate school.
