The UCC helps Roadrunners discover, pursue, and achieve their unique career goals by offering career and job-search tools and resources, including individual counseling, mock interviews, resume reviews, and professional networking assistance.  

The UCC’s events are representative of UTSA’s larger mission to give students a competitive edge to attain the jobs of the future. Key to this initiative is the institution’s membership in the HSI Career Collaborative, a consortium of 14 Hispanic-Serving institutions across the country with Latino-majority student populations—united in the goal to make it easier for employers to access the diverse talent at these universities and to provide more career opportunities for all of the students and alumni of the member institutions.
