Office of Career Services

Passion. Purpose. Calling.

The Grove City College Office of Career Services desires to help you find a career that aligns with your gifts and passions and that provides you with true purpose and satisfaction.

Our team assists you in finding your calling and in pursing and preparing you for it. We want you to go out into all realms of our culture and transform it to the advancement of the common good.

The Office of Career Services upholds the principle that work is inherently good and purposeful; that all work is honoring and glorifying to God. We were meant for work, and all areas of society need the impact and influence only Christ can bring.

The Office of Career Services provides a wide scope of offerings and services to our students. We encourage students to embark on a four-step career plan involving self-assessment, career exploration, career decision making, and a strategic job search. The skills students gain on this journey equip them with job search skills that will last a lifetime.

Our Mission

To guide students in their realization and pursuit of God’s calling for their lives by working collaboratively to engage students through a four-step career development process (assessment, exploration, decision, and pursuit) and provide them with comprehensive career offerings and experiential opportunities. 

We aim to help students develop lifelong career management skills and encourage their self-knowledge in identifying opportunities where they will thrive and glorify God in their work.
