Michigan Public Health Careers

Supporting You in Your Public Health Journey!

The University of Michigan School of Public Health Careers Office provides a supportive environment for public health students to gain confidence in understanding their career goals, sharing about their skills and interests, and making meaningful connections within the public health field. 

At the heart of our interactions is community building amongst students, alumni, employers, and career coaches. Through these connections, we aim to provide our future public health leaders with the resources, support, and networks they need to engage in the impactful work of improving health and furthering health equity for all people.

Our Services

Our programming and services are focused on 3 key areas:

  Career Exploration: Discover public health career opportunities and decide which positions best align with your interests, motivations, and goals.

  Career Preparation: Learn skills in communicating about your experiences, interests, and skills in order to successfully navigate the internship & job search processes.

  Career Connections: Build meaningful connections with alumni, organization contacts, and employers in the public health field to support you in your career journey.

  Student Experience: “Everyone at the Careers Office is very accommodating and has provided me with priceless guidance as I crafted my resume. Everyone is also very kind and all contribute to a judgment free environment, which is particularly helpful for those of us who hold a lot of anxiety around applying and interviewing for jobs.”
