Preparation that Empowers You to Enter the Workforce.

We are not your typical campus career center. Of course, we offer career advising, resume help, career fairs, mock interviews, internship programs, and access to employers.

But at Merrimack College, we empower you to enter the workforce by:

Launching your career exploration and development journey the moment you come to Merrimack
Using cutting edge technology tools to identify and prepare you for the jobs of the future and create a customized career exploration and development plan
Focusing on developing skills that employers are seeking
Connecting you to experiential learning and employment opportunities

At Merrimack, we believe career preparation is not a one-time event. That’s why Merrimack’s O’Brien Center for Career Development offers four years of programs, resources, connections, and tools, all aimed at one thing: getting you career ready.
