Resources, guidance and training to help you gain professional experience and crucial communication skills that are highly valued by employers. Career Development will actively assist students with gaining competence in networking, professionalism, and leadership skills necessary for success in a competitive, global workforce.
The process of paving your way to pursue a meaningful career is called career development. This process is outside of your classroom and will take you some time.
You will learn to identify what a meaningful work means to you, to explore career options, to connect with professionals who work in those fields early, to engage in hands-on experience, such as internship, research, volunteer and other opportunities, and to polish your job search tools.
These resources are provided in two settings: in one-on-one appointments with Rachel Palmer, Assistant Director of Career Development (rachel.palmer@oregonstate.edu) and walk-ins and in group setting through events, workshops and boot camps.
