About Us

We stand in solidarity with our communities of color. We affirm the Black Lives Matter Movement and stand against Asian hate. We speak out in support of our communities of color and lend our voice in solidarity to the call for meaningful, anti-Black/anti-racist systemic change.

Berkeley Career Engagement is dedicated to supporting all students and staff members and is examining our own structures, policies, perspectives, and behaviors. We affirm our commitment to educating employers about the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice.

Our Vision

Cultivate a university-wide culture of career readiness, where every student engages in meaningful experiences, has a supportive professional community, and is empowered to achieve lifelong career success.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to advancing equity and access to career resources for every student and recent alumni of UC Berkeley.

We engage with students on their journey to reflect, discover, and design a personally meaningful career (Career Clarity).

We connect students with alumni, employers, and their larger professional community to forge meaningful relationships that will guide them into their early career (Career Connections).        

We empower students to develop the professional confidence and experience necessary to secure the career opportunities they seek (Career Competitiveness).
