University career services play an important role in helping students recognize their own characteristics and reach employment goals. The United States, and more recently China, have invested in career services to enable graduates to contribute and thrive. This paper utilizes the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Wuhan University of Technology as a case comparison sample to compare career services. This paper demonstrates substantial differences between the SCC and UCS, in terms of student enrollment, annual financing, staff number, annual number of career counseling sessions conducted in the career center, and area of dedicated space. Data suggested that similar career theories were utilized to guide career counseling; however, significant differences were observed in the resources and modalities employed. We speculate that these differences are primarily based on the history and culture of the two countries and we offer some implications for the future of university career services.
