Alumni career support
You’ve graduated, now what? Alumni have access to a range of services through the Center for Career Development & Academic Exploration and the UT Alumni Association.
Your path depends on when you graduated
Within one year of graduating
UT alums who are less than one year removed from their graduation date continue to use the Center for Career Development & Academic Exploration for appointments and events.
You can schedule an appointment with your Industry Career Coach to discuss your post graduation plans, review your resume, practice interviewing, and more. Email the appropriate Career Coach for your industry or college.
More than one year after graduating
UT alums who are greater than one year from their graduation date can schedule appointments through the UT Alumni Association’s Center for Career Advancement.
What you can still use
Career Profiles
Career Profiles store aggregated data on students’ next steps after graduation, whether it’s a job, graduate school, military service, and more. Data is also collected to calculate salary averages and popular geographic locations. Research career options and view past data in our reports.
