For Students

What skills are employers looking for?

The Fulbright Office of Career Connections equips students with the tools to succeed in the employment search. The Career Exploration Roadmap can help students to explore career options, obtain essential career-readiness skills, find ways to engage with the community and form lasting relationships with peers and mentors.

How to show employers/graduate schools that I am career-ready?

There are many opportunities for students to showcase their career readiness, from career fairs to professional certificates. The PACE microcertificate is a nine-credit-hour course aimed at assisting students in making the connection between their collegiate major and/or minors and the General Education Learning Outcomes with several future professional career paths.
