UMass Boston

"We've been recruiting at UMass Boston for the last 10 years and we continue to do so because of the engagement we receive from the Career Services Department. They really take time to get to know what we're looking for in students and help us engage with those students across multiple disciplines. We also appreciate the preparation of the interns and students here. UMass Boston has a diverse group of students who are really ambitious, motivated, hungry, and understand what it takes to succeed in our workplace." 
-Dakota Jones, Program Coordinator, Commercial Real Estate Success Training (CREST) Internship

Not a placement service: ACES is not a placement service for either students or employers. Because we serve thousands of students and alumni, we are not able to place students into internships or full-time positions. Our office is not a placement agency and our advisors are not recruiters. The office offers career management services, expertise, and support; however, ultimately students own their careers and are responsible for managing them.
