Commodore Career Closet Logo

 

Need an outfit to make the right impression for your job interview, first day at your internship, or other professional opportunity? The Commodore Career Closet can help!

The Commodore Career Closet provides gently used business attire for students and alumni for job interviews and/or internships. 

You may receive two outfits each semester at no cost, thanks to the donations of our community, other students, faculty and staff. A large variety of items are available for you to choose from, so you can shop and find something appropriate for your job search and personal style.

Additionally, we will connect you with LCCC’s Career Services to help you prepare for your professional opportunity. Career Services offers practice interviews, help with your resume, and provides educational programs that can help you find and secure the position you want. 

The Commodore Career Closet is available by appointment so our team can assist you with finding the clothing you need, and also connect you with these additional individualized resources. To schedule your own private, personal shopping trip to the Closet, complete our form below and one our staff will reach out to find a time that works for you.
