Career Education and Development

CareerEd, Stanford Career Education prepares students and recent alumni to pursue and secure fulfilling careers. Stanford Career Education understands that the undocumented student community faces a unique set of challenges in their career journeys and is committed to providing individualized strategies to ensure students are able to overcome these challenges.

• A Career Catalysts team, in particular, focuses on the intersections of identity and career and can help you navigate questions, concerns, or fears around career opportunities as an undocumented student. Any undocumented students seeking career support may schedule an individual appointment with a member of the Career Catalysts team. In addition to the Career Catalyst team, their support systems range from 1-unit courses that explore different careers, career fairs, practice interviews on campus, as well as one-on-one advising sessions for internships and careers.
