Our Mission2

The Office of Career and Professional Development is here to provide support to students and alumni in all facets of career exploration and development. We assist employers across the nation to connect and interact with our students and alumni through job fairs, events, and webinars. Finally, we support WTAMU faculty and staff by sharing our knowledge with you through providing classroom presentations, facilitating student participation in career-related events, and offering professional development opportunities to the students who work for you and those who supervise them.

BEWARE of JOB SCAMS! 

We have gotten a few calls from students who received texts from an "employer" claiming that the student was recommended to them by WT. Know that we will NOT give out your phone number, nor is it available to employers in Handshake unless you expressly give it to someone there. Things to look for in an unsolicited job offer. Contact the University Police Department if you are a victim of a job scam at (806) 651-2300.
