Our Services
The Pancratz Career Development Center offers resources for students interested in exploring career options using assessments. Students can take any of the assessments on their own and then schedule a follow-up meeting with a Pancratz Center staff member to discuss the next steps.
The Pancratz Center staff is able to help prepare students for Career Fairs located on- and off-campus. Make an appointment to prepare for career fairs and discuss how to market yourself to company recruiters.
We recommend students always include a cover letter when submitting their application and resume for a job or internship.
Students may visit the Pancratz Center to discuss their cover letter, learn new tips and writing strategies, and have their letter reviewed by a Pancratz Center staff member.
Our services are available to Nistler CoBPA graduate students, both online and on-campus. If you are a graduate student looking to take the next steps in your career preparations, our team is available to assist you.
Handshake is an excellent platform to utilize when searching for a job or internship. Handshake can help students get hired, discover new opportunities, connect with employers, and create awareness of various professional development events going on. Our Pancratz Center staff can help you navigate the platform and create a profile.
Our website is updated bi-weekly with full-time, internship, and co-op listings from UND Career Services as well as other positions that may be of interest to Nistler CoBPA students.
Most Job listings can also be found on Handshake. You can also make an appointment with the Pancratz Center to learn about other job and internship search strategies for your specific major.
