Message from the Director

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
                                                                                                                                          - Jesse Owens (1913-1980)

Every time I enter The King’s College main campus, also known as the Empire State Building, I have an extremely tangible reminder that great things do not happen overnight. Yes, this 102-story Art Deco skyscraper daily receives admiration from its many global visitors. More importantly, it remains a silent yet powerful testimony to the 255 carpenters, 290 bricklayers, 384 brick laborers, 107 derrick men, 285 steel men, 249 elevator installers, 105 electricians, 192 plumbers, 194 heating and ventilating workers, and others who together translated a dream into reality. In brief, greatness takes work.
   
Like the Empire State Building, Career Services aims to equip The King’s students with the foundational tools necessary to withstand our modern marketplace. We offer our students support to discover their vocation and to develop a strategic career path towards realizing their dreams. Lastly, we reinforce our firm belief that anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Craftsmanship does require more thought, time, and effort. In a society that glorifies velocity, craftsmanship may seem both an antiquated and unattractive approach towards success. Then again, it depends on what the desired outcomes are. We at King’s have definite evidence that determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort – yes, craftsmanship – lasts.
