Professional Edge Course


This course helps students develop skills sought by employers and graduate schools and is perfect preparation for internships and jobs.

In the two-credit Professional EDGE course, students will develop the skills needed to secure an internship, job, or acceptance into graduate school.  Students will build their LinkedIn profile, participate in mock interviews, develop cover letters and resumes, attend an Etiquette Dinner, and learn professional behaviors that will ultimately lead to future career success.

The Professional EDGE course helped me create a LinkedIn profile that grabs attention and projects my career path to future employers, write an effective cover letter, and develop a well-prepared elevator pitch. I highly recommend it to all students.

Prepare yourself for success

Students in the course will learn how to:

  • leverage LinkedIn and other social media to find internships and jobs
  • build a personal brand
  • write an employer-ready cover letter and résumé, and develop a portfolio
  • excel in an interview through one-to-one coaching and preparation
  • interact professionally (students will attend an etiquette dinner)
  • find internships and jobs
  • network and maximize their marketability
Students who are not able to fit the course into their schedules may complete the course content via independent study with a career counselor.
