Identity-Based Career Resources
The Twardowski Career Development Center supports West Chester University's commitment to diversity and inclusion.
We are dedicated to ensuring all student experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds are seen, and heard, and respected. Our Career Counselors embrace a student-centered framework to provide a welcoming, inclusive, and approachable environment. We are committed to supporting students based on intersectional and unique needs throughout their career progression.
This page is not an exhaustive, all-encompassing list, but rather a starting point. It is our hope that these resources will provide support for and assist in the career development process for diverse students and alumni. We are available by appointment via Handshake, if you are interested in continuing the conversation.
We want to hear from you! We welcome your feedback, expertise, and wisdom for contribution to this page. Please utilize the brief survey below to share your thoughts for improving this section of our website.
