A world in which all students have the opportunity to realize their potential and make their career aspirations a reality.

The mission of Cerritos College Career Services is to support students in making meaningful career decisions as they move into, through, and out of the college. We do this by providing resources, programs, and services that empower students to engage in intentional major and career exploration, cultivate a sense of purpose, develop career readiness skills, and take strategic action to achieve career success in diverse, global communities.

We believe in the critical importance of the following:

  • Creating an environment in which students experience being encouraged, supported, appreciated, and understood
  • Embracing students for who they are
  • Fostering a sense of self-confidence in achieving one’s goals
  • Promoting understanding of oneself and others
  • Normalizing the idea that students are where they need to be and that is okay!
