Career Services

The mission of the Office of Career Services is to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art resources and services for cadets to assist them in their needs relative to career planning, career experiences, and employment or graduate education opportunities.

Cadets and Alumni: You can make an appointment through Handshake. Login using your VMI credentials and click on "Career Center" to make an appointment or email careerservices@vmi.edu. Walk-in hours are Monday - Friday, 0800 - 1630. 

Cadets looking to connect directly with alumni can do so by completing a short survey

The Office of Career Services has a newly renovated state-of-the-art conference room that can be reserved by cadets and employers to conduct virtual and in-person interviews. To reserve the conference room, call or email the career services office.
