CareerLink Community

The university community houses multiple opportunities to connect, grow, and thrive. As a student and/or alumnus, they will find a job board, community directory, resource center, opportunities to get involved, events, and mentoring.

CareerLink is open to certificate and degree-seeking students who have started their first course at AMU and to all degree and certificate holding alumni from our institutions.

When entering CareerLink, the following information is built into the profile automatically and will update each time CareerLink is accessed based on the most up to date information from within the student record:

  • First and Last Name (this can be updated in CareerLink, under profile settings)
  • Degree Level
  • Degree Name

CareerLink access may be revoked if the student is:

  • No longer active with the university through disenrollment* or dismissal;
  • Failing to adhere to the Code of Conduct and/or Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation Policy within the Student Handbook;
  • Any instance of Academic Dishonesty with the CareerLink System

Users become searchable by other (to include recruiters) once a profile is created. At that point, users may be contacted by recruiters.

Please contact careerlink@apus.edu with any questions.

*Alumni who enroll for a subsequent program, but then disenroll, will still have access to CareerLink as alumni status grants lifetime status.
