Career Exploration focuses on helping students reflect on their skills, talents and interests and facilitate career and/or major decision-making. Professional Development prepares our students for co-op and post graduate positions through seminars about resume and cover letter writing, mock interviews and job search strategies. Building Your Professional Edge is an advanced class that further develops the competencies necessary for career readiness. Students develop a branding strategy and integrate career planning elements into a personal career marketing plan.

 

Connect to Your Future: This event was designed to allow alumni and friends of the Mount to come to campus to speak to students about their career options. In this casual, round table setting, students are able to ask questions about the designated career path. Connect to Your Future typically takes place in October.
