Career Development Process

Review the career development process and violet ready skills. This cycle can help students throughout their whole professional life. They will move through these stages at many points in their career and return back as needed to continue to reflect as interests, jobs, and industries change and build skills needed to be successful.

Incorporate the skills into your activities by showcasing how the work you are doing with them directly ties to success in the workplace.

The Wasserman Career Readiness Course on Brightspace is a 6-unit, non-credit asynchronous course designed to help students gain a helpful understanding of how values, identities, and priorities can align with future work and career decisions. Share with your students or integrate the content to support experiential learning within your programs.

Career Advising Network

The Network was founded in 2019 to achieve two main goals:

  1. Develop stronger relationships among faculty, staff, and the Wasserman Center.
  2. Create a community of career champions that can meet students where they are to provide support and guidance in their career development.
