Topics can include tips on job search, interviewing, industry/field trends, general career advice. The topic is up to you and a great way to brand your organization as industry experts!
Employer Career Champion
In support of Career Everywhere, the Center for Career Development sponsors a Career Champion program that connects and engages faculty, staff, alumni, and employer partners who are actively assisting students in determining and reaching their career goals. We know that students seek advice about their career aspirations and plans from all around – family, friends, faculty, staff, alumni and employer partners – not just our career office. We believe that extending this opportunity to our valued campus partners sends a message to students – your future talent – but also gives you an opportunity to brand and network with other Career Champions on campus – faculty, staff and alumni.
The Career Champion Program is designed to be flexible, understanding that employers already have their plates full and asking them to do one more thing can be daunting. There is no monetary cost and there is no minimum time requirement. The goal of identifying Career Champions is to create a community around common language and common goals to enhance the readiness and employability of our students. We plan to recognize Career Champions regularly at our events; and to provide access to our services. We will also ask our employer partners to provide any expertise they’d like to share with peer Champions (faculty, staff, alums) as well as with students – but this is purely voluntary. And, of course, we will celebrate you and the group’s successes each semester.
