The Career and Life Design Center aims to be the gateway to students’ futures in Metro Detroit and beyond. Our purpose is to develop best prepared professionals and to be employers’ favorite place to recruit top talent. We’re here to help Oakland students build marketable skills, gain professional work experience and explore their passions. We empower students through career consultation, networking and recruitment events, virtual resources and branding tips. Our goal is to give students the tools they need to open doors to internships, and ultimately, their careers.

At the Oakland University School of Business Administration, the embedded Career and Life Design team collaborates with employers to find the best Grizzly talent for their recruitment needs. Through networking and recruiting events, on-campus interview opportunities and the job posting platform, Handshake, employers can discover confident OU talent with real-world experience. The team takes the responsibility of connecting bright minds to opportunities seriously.
