Events
Events are scheduled throughout the year to facilitate continued career development. Consider making one of these activities a requirement for your classes. Perhaps your students will prepare for those future business lunchoens by attending the Etiquette Dinner, or find new tools for obtaining experiential education opportunities through the Internship Summit. See the CPRC Events Calendar for a full list of upcoming activities.
Major & Career Exploration
Resources available to assist your undeclared students or any student who is uncertain about their current major through the Exploring Majors & Careers program. |
 |
Interview Stream
The InterviewStream practice interview system allows students to perform a practice interview with only a webcam and internet connection. Students have the option to select one of several established practice interviews or customize their own interview. The CPRC can also develop a custom interview for your class for a project or assignment. |
|
LinkedIn
Let your students discover the benefits of making those professional connections. Show them the importance of networking, and help them get started with the development of their LinkedIn profile. Arrange for a profile review session or LinkedIn overview for your students.
