Student Career Services
Looking for opportunities in the environmental fields? Resources are available to UW students to aid in your job search and professional development. The Career Center offers a range of services including access to job listings, workshops and feedback on resumes and interviews, and information on preparing for graduate school.
UW Environmental Career Fair
Open to all students, the UW Environmental Career Fair is an opportunity to explore careers in environmental and natural resources fields. The Environmental Career Fair features employers from the nonprofit, government, and private sectors with career-level positions and internships.
The 2013 Environmental Career Fair will be held in February 2013. Check back during Autumn 2012 for more details. See the 2012 Environmental Career Fair announcement for details and a list of employers who attended. Inquiries about the 2013 Environmental Career Fair can be sent to envjobs@uw.edu.

Graduate School
A significant proportion of our students decide to go to graduate school; if not immediately, then within a few years of graduating.
The UW Career Center helps prepare students for applying to graduate school by offering workshops.
Your faculty and TAs are very good resources for advice. Cultivate relationships with faculty so they can serve as good references for your application.
We strongly encourage you to complete a preparation course. The UW Women’s Center has a good, reduced cost GRE preparation course.
If you are a first generation college, low income or underrepresented student interested in completing a PhD, the Early Identification Program offers outstanding support.
