CAREER LINK

Career Link provides career development services to Ivy Tech students and alumni. The  seal in the Ivy+ Career Link name represents a "plus" for our students! It signifies that we have reimagined the way we provide career development services to provide career coaching that's high-impact and transformative for our students, plus provides opportunities to engage directly with Indiana employers while in school that can lead to employment after graduation.
