Schoolcraft College is making career support easier than ever for students. The college now offers students fast, friendly, in-person help to move their career plans forward all with the convenience of no appointment required. Led by the Career Mentorship & Placement Office and coordinated by Career Success Navigator, Jessica Miller, the drop-in service provides hands-on guidance from trained student mentors at no cost to attendees.
“The purpose of the drop-in is so that students can literally just walk in and get help,” said Miller. There are three student mentors who can assist students in the drop-in area.
The service is located in the Jeffress Center, Room 124. It is best to enter through the first entrance of the Jeffress Building, under the blue awning in the A-Wing. The building is located at 7 Mile and Haggerty, and visitors can only enter off of Haggerty Road. Drop-in hours run Tuesday through Thursday, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The drop-in program offers support in several areas, including starting or refining a resume, the number one reason students visit, as well as crafting cover letters or post-interview correspondence. Students can also receive tips for interviews, practice mock interviews, and
build or improve their LinkedIn profiles. For those who prefer a scheduled meeting, by- appointment is also available.
In-person meetings take place in the Jeffress Center, Room 340, Workforce & Economic Development. Enter same side as above blue awning and take elevator to third floor will see signs that say Career Mentorship & Placement with arrows pointing to the Workforce & Economic Development Office. Appointments can be arranged online through Teams as well as phone appointments during the 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. time frame. For later or outside-hour appointments, contact the Career Mentorship & Placement Office and staff will work to accommodate your schedule.
The Drop-In Career Support is open to past or current Schoolcraft students, as well as recent alumni. Community members who are not currently enrolled may also receive guidance for up to two visits as part of the college’s community outreach initiative. After two visits,
community guests are encouraged to rely on the materials they received; if they later enroll in Schoolcraft, they regain ongoing access.
This service serves as an immediate and accessible first step for anyone seeking career assistance.
For students seeking a more structured pathway, the office also offers longer-term programs, including the Career Advantage Leadership Program, which helps students gain career readiness skills through a non-credit career readiness program, as well as College to Career Mentorship initiatives that pair students with mentors, offer workshops, and provide step-by- step career development. Drop-in visits are ideal for quick checks and immediate needs; they also serve as an entry point to these extended programs.
“We want this to be a continuous relationship. Students should come back, show their progress, and even share when they land an interview or job offer. Whether you’re polishing a resume or just getting started, our office can help you start your
career journey,” said Miller.
