Benefits to Alumni
Career Networking
Whether you are an alum looking for work or an employer who recognizes the value of hiring Vanguard grads—the Alumni Association and Vanguard Career Center are great resources for you.
Through active involvement with the Alumni Association you have opportunity to develop relationships with alumni from many different class eras. This is important, particularly as it relates to job prospecting. Our alumni are employed in every conceivable vocation and are willing to assist other alums in their job search process. If you'd like more information on networking with fellow alums, please e-mail us at alumni@vanguard.edu.
Available to both students and alumni, the Vanguard Career Center houses a library of valuable tests, materials and resources to help you further you career. If you are simply looking for a new position in the same field or entertaining a complete change of direction, the professionals in the Vanguard Career Center will assist in resume development, career exploration, and provide valuable resources for your search. For more information, or to make an appointment for career counseling, e-mail Roseanne Freilich at rfreilich@vanguard.edu or call 714-556-3610, x348.
