Help Us Help You: A Parent's Guide to the UofL Career Center
<p>Most students don't think about the University Career Center until senior year — and by then, they're already behind. In this episode, host Jessica Combess sits down with Chester Delph, Associate Director for Employer Engagement at the UofL University Career Center, to unpack everything career services actually offers, starting the moment a student steps on campus.</p><p>From <a href="https://cardinalcareers-csm.symplicity.com/students/index.php?signin_tab=0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cardinal Careers</a> (the vetted, scam-free platform every student can log into right now) to the part-time jobs fair, internships, experiential learning, and the art of networking your way across the country, Chester explains why early engagement changes everything. Parents and families will also learn how to have supportive career conversations at home without the pressure — and exactly how to connect with the office when their student is ready.</p><p>Whether your Cardinal is a first-year or about to walk across the stage their senior year, this conversation will reshape how your family thinks about life after graduation.</p><p>💬 Have a question or topic you'd love us to cover next?
