The Center for Career Engagement seeks up to 100 students interested in learning about how the skills they've acquired in classes, co-curricular experiences, summer jobs, and more transfer into skills sought by today's employers. If you have used your critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and technical 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 narrow down possible career options, as well as build on your existing experience and find related experiential opportunities. We will also take a look at career interests and review the tools you can use to go to the next step!
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Better understand how to identify and articulate your transferrable skills.
-
Learn how to access the resources available to you through the Center for Career Engagement.
-
Leave the session with clearly articulated next steps in your career exploration.
