Sharing your experiences with jobs, interviews, networking, and other career areas provides amazing insight to your student. These topics aren’t often a focus at dinner, but they can be – especially when students return home for breaks and holidays! If you can assist your student with connecting to people who are in jobs they are interested in; they may be able to have successful discussions that lead to learning and experiencing career opportunities.

Experiential Learning is critical in the career development process. While internships are important, before doing an internship, students can build skills and networks through student involvement in groups/organizations! Students can and should consider getting involved with a business organization and one that is based on personal interests! 

Our career services office hosts a wide array of events. Every semester, we organize larger events like career fairs to connect your student to employers. We also bring in employers as much as possible to table, present to students, and network. We provide educational workshops too! Check out upcoming events here. 

Involvement in the career development process of your student can be a teeter-totter. Asking questions about majors and career interests is great and encouraged. However, too much prodding can lead to shutting you out. It’s important to allow your student to follow their interests as they progress. Career development can sometimes be intimidating, so your support as they explore and hone in their interests can change their experience! 

Whether a freshman or a senior, Career Services is here to support them on their journey. We work with students on all career development, from career exploration and discovery, to applying, to gaining experiences! We focus on meeting the students where they are in this process, making each meeting tailored and supportive to the individual student.

We like to celebrate and recognize our students' accomplishments in our newsletter!
