Career Engagement
Start with Engagement to:
Gain first-hand insights of careers by engaging with people who work in fields that interest you and participate in experiences and opportunities (such as internships, volunteering, on-campus opportunities and more) to build the skills and strengths needed to attain desired career goals.
During this Stage:
- Revisit your professional documents (i.e., resumes, cover letters) and customize them for positions of interest.

- Search and apply for experiences related to potential career paths including internships, cooperative education, research, community engaged learning, volunteering, etc.
- Attend the Graduate and Professional School Fair to receive information about admission requirements, summer programs and fellowship opportunities.
Move to Career Attainment when:
You have built upon your experiences, expanded your skills, expanded your professional network, and are positioned to apply to a full-time job or graduate program.
