student services

The Career Development Center (CDC) provides a range of services for students. We encourage students of any college year to stop by our office in Student Life, Room 22B or send an email to cdc@lcc.lt for advice and assistance in career planning and development. Here is the description of services for students that will provide you with a clear picture of our activities and competences.

Individual ConsultationsThe most popular types of individual consultations are: resume and/or cover letter writing and interviewing skills. Other types of consultations are: self-assessment techniques, career planning, career transition, job search strategies, job market tendencies, employment opportunities abroad, volunteer and leadership opportunities. We also help you select the LCC major that is right for you.

Students are provided with guidelines, free samples of resumes and cover letters both in English and Lithuanian, job links and other supporting materials.

Seminars Each year the Career Development Center offers students many seminars covering a variety of career related areas. Seminars are aimed at increasing students’ awareness of the importance of career as well as enhancing their career planning and development skills. Seminars are held by local professionals from recruitment and consulting companies as well as the Career Development Center’s Director, Rūta Idzelienė. Check our Events section to see what we have to offer you this year.

Job Opportunities The Career Development Center forwards information about job opportunities on and off campus. The Center is an intermediary between an employer and a potential employee. CDC tries to get as much information as possible to provide qualified and secure jobs. If there is a suspicion, that the company isn’t trustworthy, the Career Development Center declines an offer.

Employment opportunities on campus normally require a student to be in his/her second year. LCC offers jobs for 10 to 25 hours a week in such positions as assistants to various Departments, receptionists, and Michealsen centras attendants. Off campus opportunities come from local companies, business representatives and private individuals. These jobs usually are English teachers or tutors, managers, managers-administrators, administrators, translators, assistants, babysitters, housekeepers, secretaries, agents, consultants and, sometimes, top managers.

Employment Opportunities In addition to employment opportunities in Lithuania, students have opportunities to work abroad during the summer holidays. Every September, the Career Development Center invites companies that have Work & Travel programs to give a presentation about their products and services. Students have the chance to evaluate each of them and decide upon the best and most suitable option. LCC students are encouraged to come to CDC and ask for advice regarding employment abroad.
