Students and alumni use TLU Career Link to network with fellow alumni in the workforce. Students and alumni are encouraged to post their resume to TLU Career Link and update their profile each semester.

Resource Library

Not sure where to begin your job search? Career Development staff is happy to help you explore your options. We offer numerous resources in our office and on MyTLU. The resource library is supplied with brochures, guides and books outlining different career paths.

Throughout the year we work directly with employers, graduate schools and nonprofits to host on-campus recruiting events to match your needs with the talents and career goals of TLU students.

TLU Career Link for Employers & Recruiters

Employers can quickly and easily post jobs, internships and volunteer opportunities, choose to receive “online applications” directly from the system with current resumes attached, sign up for career fairs and much more.

Recruiters, employers, and alumni are all welcome to use their employer account on TLU Career Link to post information online about available opportunities, view students via their visual profiles and manage their on-campus presence.
