Brief Summary of Job Duties The Environment + Society Career Counselor is a full-time position funded by a 5-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. This position is a unique collaboration between Career Services and the Center for Equitable Environmental Sciences (CEES), which is housed under the UCSB Chicano Studies Institute (CSI). CEES centers on environmental justice and transforms how Hispanic/Latinx and other Underrepresented (URM) students choose and thrive in STEM majors, improving URM STEM retention and graduation rates and providing the necessary resources, skills, and training to propel URM students directly into the STEM workforce. In partnership with CEES, UCSB's Career Services will add a new track called Environment + Society that will provide career and internship services to CEES target students. As part of a dynamic team of career services professionals, the Environment + Society Career Counselor will use core counseling techniques to help students explore majors, clarify their career objectives, develop effective job search strategies, and apply to graduate programs through a range of approaches, including individual, drop-in, and group appointments, workshops, and other programs. The Career Counselor will consult students and alumni on job-search tools and strategies, including writing resumes, developing cover letters and effective correspondence with prospective employers, interviewing, networking, and connecting with employers. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing a robust pipeline of internships for students in environmental and environmental justice organizations and projects, with a focus on fostering opportunities and placements for CEES target students. The Environment + Society Career Counselor will build upon and expand UCSB's outreach to nonprofits, government agencies, and businesses to ensure significant growth in environmental internship opportunities across these sectors, particularly for CEES target students. The Environment + Society Career Counselor will support Career Services' Associate Director of Career Education in developing the Environment + Society Career Track and related resources and opportunities in Career Services, working closely with CEES at all stages - from development to implementation - to ensure the achievement of grant goals. Through this new Environment + Society career path, all UCSB students, and particularly those within CEES's target demographics, will have access to high-quality events, internships, career-oriented job experiences, and opportunities to network with URM alumni who work in environmental careers. Particular emphasis will be placed on internship opportunities, events, and professional networking that center on environmental justice and showcase social responsibility within environmental careers. The Career Counselor will be the primary provider of culturally sensitive and high-impact student mentoring on job searches, interview preparation, and career development. Required Qualifications
