Career Services

At Wallace State, we’re committed to helping students succeed beyond the classroom. Whether you're exploring career options, preparing to enter the workforce, or looking to gain real-world experience while you learn, our Career Services and Work-Based Learning (WBL) opportunities are here to support you every step of the way. We also value our local business and industry and work diligently to bridge the gap between students and the workforce.
