The Wasserman Center for Career Development is proud to announce the NYU LEADS Program: Learn, Empower, Act, Discover and Succeed. This individualized program is intended to develop and support all NYU students as they work towards achieving their future professional goals. We will be offering a wide range of services, designed to target specific career management and development areas for all NYU students representing various NYU schools. All initiatives are intended to assist individual students in understanding and focusing their personal career goals. NYU LEADS is intended to help students stand out as they embark upon their career path. The five areas of emphasis are:

Learn: Exploring Your Career Path
Empower: Connecting Academics to the World of Work
Act: Promoting Your Professional Story
Discover: Finding the Job and Securing the Offer
Succeed: Successfully Transition into the Workforce

The NYU LEADS program focuses on personalized and targeted initiatives to capitalize on the Wasserman Center's core strengths in career development that cross academic lines. The core modules are intended to facilitate interaction among students of all majors and backgrounds, just like in the workplace.
