Details

Co-Curricular Advising and the Center for Career Engagement seek up to 100 students interested in learning how the skills they've acquired in classes, co-curricular experiences, summer jobs, and more are sought by today's employers. If you have used your creativity, problem solving, communication, teamwork, and analytical skills as a student at Gettysburg, we hope you'll join this session where we will explore how employers are looking for you. We will talk about reflection, narrow down possible career options, build on your existing experiences, and discuss future related experiential opportunities. We take a beginning look at career interests and review the tools you can use to go to the next step!

Learning Outcomes:

Students will better understand how to reflect on and articulate their transferrable skills.
Students will learn how to access the resources available to them through the Center for Career Engagement and Co-curricular Advising.
Students will leave the session with clearly articulated next steps in their experiential journey and career exploration.
