Career Catalyst Program

Career Catalyst is a program designed by the faculty and staff of the UA Little Rock School of Business to ensure students who are majoring in the business field are prepared to enter the workforce. Through various clinics, workshops, and events, Career Catalyst provides students the opportunity to become “career ready” individuals.

This program consists of events including resume and interviewing workshops, professional dress workshops, career fairs and other opportunities to connect with employers.
