TSUS, Indeed Launch Partnership to Help Students and Alumni Advance Their Careers

May 29, 2024

The Texas State University System (TSUS) and Indeed – the world’s No. 1 job site and a leading hiring platform – have launched a first-of-its kind partnership to equip Lamar State College Port Arthur students and alumni with the skills and knowledge needed to conduct successful job searches. TSUS is the first university system in the world to partner with Indeed’s Job Search Academy, a free virtual training program offering all TSUS students and alumni access to on-demand job search content and career planning resources.
 
Through the partnership, Indeed and TSUS’s seven member institutions have developed co-branded web pages that provide students and alumni with access to Indeed workshops and webinars, a job search platform, company pages, a career guide, and salary tools. The program focuses on mastering five key skills: job searching, resume writing, interview prep, job offer evaluation, and career direction.

“We are proud to be the first university system to partner with Indeed to improve and advance career opportunities for our students and alumni,” said TSUS Chancellor Brian McCall. “TSUS leads the state in the percentage of graduates working in Texas one year after graduation, and we plan to build on this achievement through innovative partnerships like Indeed’s Job Search Academy.”
 
The Job Search Academy, accessible through the institutions’ Career Services websites, provides students and alumni with comprehensive career resources and guidance beyond traditional business hours, empowering students and alumni to achieve their career goals on their schedules.
