Talent Center
The Talent Center at the College of Central Florida is an affiliate of CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion and a partner of the College of Central Florida. The Talent Center offers no cost professional placement services to CF graduates and soon to be graduates. In addition to individualized coaching, the staff works with candidates to: create job specific resumes; review their social media footprint and shape a digital game plan to enhance their marketing; establish a job search strategy; and finally prepare individuals for today’s interviews. Candidates may also choose to visit with one of our business development representatives to discuss local employment opportunities in their field of interest.
Students and graduates can connect with the Talent Center by visiting our office in The Enterprise Center, Suite 101, or online at TalentCenter.org. The Talent Center and TalentCenter.org are the bricks and clicks location for career insight and employment opportunities.
The primary purposes of the CF Career Center are helping students and citizens in the district discover which careers are most appropriate for them and how to plan their education accordingly, and assist employers in selecting the best candidates for jobs.
Potential clients of the Career Center include students, those desiring to change or start new careers, retirees who want to reenter the workforce, the disabled, homemakers entering or reentering the workforce, and local companies and industries.
