Program Overview
This series will encompass five to seven different programs every fall and spring for all Â鶹ÊÓƵ students to attend. Each event will touch upon various career competencies, as outlined by the , that students should achieve to make the most successful transition from higher education into the professional world of work.
Following these events, we are hosting a 30-minute networking reception. We invite you to cosponsor one or more of these programs and have the chance to engage in meaningful conversations with our student attendees. Employer representatives will also have the chance to provide a brief overview of their organization/company and the opportunities they can provide to Â鶹ÊÓƵ students. These programs will be open to all Â鶹ÊÓƵ students; however, we are targeting specific student groups and organizations as well.
