About Us

On behalf of the CAC team, it is a pleasure to welcome you at the website of the Nazarbayev University Career and Advising Center!

CAC strives to provide services to aid in the professional development of our students and alumni.
Our future is the youth of this country! Career choice starts from family taken up by University and final product is dealt by an Employer. Therefore, it is important that our joint efforts and support are consistent and cooperative.
The Career and Advising Center promotes lifelong skills through our Career workshops and Professional Development Programs. The Center establishes partnerships with internship providers and employers to help in recruiting NU students and alumni through on-campus recruitment events, companies’ presentations and field trips, etc.
The staff members of the Center want to help the students learn about their skills and interests, and articulate them confidently in resumes, cover letters, interviews; define and explore career options that they might pursue; and implement an effective strategy to achieve their desired career outcomes.
You will find many useful resources in these pages, and we invite you to visit our offices in person as well.
We look forward to working with you! Let us make our future bright, innovative and prosperous!
