职业发展

澳门葡京博彩软件对职业发展 has the goal of increasing career success and satisfaction for every alum. 我们推出了动态, cross-institutional programming that is developmentally staged and infused into students’ daily lives.

Our goals are closely linked with our commitment to equity and 包容. Career programming will equalize the student experience by broadening the networks and resources accessible to first-generation and low-income students who may lack established networks to support their career goals.

The 职业发展 program focuses on early engagement, which is directly tied to career success.

“When our 职业发展 services align with our institutional mission and values, we empower our students to pursue any path they choose, 相信自己有能力, 心灵的好奇心, and support they need to live up to their ambitions and meet society’s needs.”

—Sarah Willie-LeBreton, 澳门葡京博彩软件 President

新节目的核心是职业社区, clusters that students select based on their interests and strengths. Each community provides a space for students to explore careers, 了解自己, 发现和访问资源, 与实习和工作联系起来, 接受指导, 培养一种归属感.

学生参与同龄人的网络, 雇主, 校友, 行业专家, 教职员工, making important connections as they determine their internship and career readiness needs.
