Hmmm. What makes you think careers centre didn't know about STEM careers? They are generalists, and often have good services if not specific to your discipline. Did your lecturers ever invite them to your class to discuss the skills they offer?

Maybe once or twice. But in my experience they told us opposite of what actual people in those career positions say. Granted this was 6+ years ago

Interesting. I'd like to know more about how other people experienced their careers centre. At the very least, I encouraged my students to visit them for proof-reading CVs and applications & practice interviewing skills, which they happily did at my uni.

Oh that stuff, yes def! But anything more specific than that ... most STEM jobs weren’t even posted at our career center. So it seemed kinda useless to me. I also might have just been cranky for 4 years lol.

Hey Itali! Are careers fairs via universities not a thing in the USA? I'm scared about the answer...

Career fairs? Yes! For STEM specifically and not just like, City Year or Americorps or whatever? Nah

Okay. Here's another question that I will divine I already know the answer to. Do your lecturers ever discuss where to look for work and HOW to apply for jobs in your field? Do they cover career pathways in science both inside and beyond academia?
