Career Services at The Master’s University Helps Students Enter the Workforce – The Master’s University

At some point in their final semester at The Master’s University, every senior will speak with the Office of Career Services — many with Nathan Dougherty, the school’s associate director of corporate sponsorship. His goal is to ensure students have every resource they need to find and land a job.
“We have a job board in the career services department,” Dougherty said. “Currently, it has over 800 jobs posted on it. Those are businesses that want to hire TMU students. Most likely, they hired a TMU grad in the past and had a good experience, so they are interested in hiring more TMU grads because they recognize they are people of character, hard work, and integrity.”
Through the job board, mentorship opportunities, and interview preparation, Dougherty tries to bridge the gap between life in the classroom and a lifetime in the workforce.
“First and foremost, alumni of TMU are representing Christ when they leave school,” Dougherty said. “Our institution’s goal is to prepare them to do that well. But they also represent TMU in their career. And if they do that with excellence, it encourages businesses to hire more graduates.”
In recent years, Dougherty has seen a steady increase in employers looking to hire TMU students. Some businesses, particularly in Southern California, come every year to the campus to recruit. The eagerness to hire TMU students speaks to the integrity of the student body and to the quality that employers receive when they hire from the ranks of TMU.
