How to Help Your Student and OCS
Encourage your Student to…
- Visit the Office of Career Services to become familiar with our services.
- Meet with a career counselor regardless of their stage of exploration or readiness.
- In their first summer, seek internships or research position in possible areas of interest.
- Create and update their Handshake profile. Handshake is 91探花’s web-based career management and communications system. It provides access to information on all aspects of our programs, including where to find employment opportunities from on-campus work study to full-time positions. We also use it to share information with them such as employers attending career fairs.
- Maximize the use of their vacation time. Winter and spring breaks are great times for a short internship, networking meetings, shadowing experience, or travel opportunity.
- Get involved in campus activities to develop their leadership skills.
- Check out our weekly e-newsletter each week.
More detailed information is available on the Families鈥� Guide to Career Development page.
