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 start to explore your new professional neighborhood, build upon your strengths to create a personal brand and professional documents, and practice networking in order to gain internship and job opportunities. In a series of engaging, interactive, short sessions, we will work with you to explore, clarify, and activate your professional vision.

Topics covered will include: Industry Framing, Personal Branding, Professional Documents, and Networking.
