Career management is an essential life skill whether you are just starting along your career trajectory or a mid-career professional. Our Career Management Workshop Series synthesizes your academic and professional goals, preparing you for future internship and job opportunities. Together we will identify personal strengths, build a professional brand image, and master effective internship and job search strategies. In a series of engaging, interactive, short sessions, we will work with you to explore, clarify, and activate your professional vision. You will begin by asking yourself three key questions:

- Reflecting upon my strengths, goals, and passion, how should I build my professional image or personal brand?

- How can I develop strategy for my internship and job search to align with my long-term goals?

- How can I effectively communicate my strengths through a resume, cover letter, networking, and interviewing opportunities?

Topics covered will include professional identity/personal branding, resumes, cover letters, networking, interviewing, and professional development.

This course is highly recommended for first-semester students; although, students in any semester are welcome. No tuition is charged for this non-credit course. All students are welcome in this course, although the NPTS, IEP, ITED, and DPP advisors will be teaching the course. This course meets for one hour or less during Community Hours, so you are welcome to bring your lunch to the sessions.
