We'll help you

Navigate your career

From your first semester through graduation and beyond, we’re here to provide you the tools to get ready to make a world of difference. 

We’ll support you in career exploration, building your first resumes, and practicing mock interviews to help you pursue internships and the career you aspire to.

From start to finish

Reflect on the types of challenges or problems you would like to solve
Identify industries and employers that align with your values, curiosities, and the challenges you want to tackle, and seek out experiences that support your career exploration
Begin job searching at least 6-9 months prior to your desired start date

Your successful journey from

Student to Engineer

Your career isn’t only about the future, it’s setting the stage for success from the start.

Each semester, we’ll always come back to the same journey: preparing you for your accomplishments, connecting you with networking opportunities, immersing you in career paths, and reflecting on what you’ve learned and where you want to go next.
