What is Career Readiness?

Career Readiness links your academic career at Abilene Christian with our purpose-driven mission—to educate you for Christian service and leadership throughout the world. In order to fulfill this mission, you need to develop the skills to present your education and experiences to an employer and demonstrate you are ready for their career opportunity.   

Building on the D!scovery Program, ACU's Career Center prepares you to successfully conduct a career search. As a complement to your academic preparation, our Career Readiness resources give you the tools to develop and promote your unique qualifications to potential employers. 

You can further enhance your career readiness level by using our online career resources such as ACU CareerLink and VAULT (ACU's online career library accessible on your CareerLink homepage), participating in mock interviews, attending information sessions, conducting informational interviews, and completing an internship in your career field of interest.

The Career Center also provides personal career readiness consultation through individual office appointments. Career consultation is a free service to students currently enrolled at ACU. These sessions can meet many of your needs, including resume or cover letter review.  Call our office at 325-674-2473 to schedule an appointment.
