Classroom Presentations and Don’t Cancel Class Campaign!
Want to help your students take the next step in their personal and professional journey? Career Consultants are able to present various career-related topics to your students to meet their needs. All topics can be scaled to fit the timeline (15-60 minutes) you have available and the needs of your class. You can select from the topic list below or contact us to talk about curating content or a programming option that is specific to your class. We look forward to working with you to plan material that meets the needs of your students.
If you planning to be away and plan to cancel your class, we are happy to step in and cover class for you. We have several personal and professional development topics ready to share with your students.
Topics available at any time:

- Handshake Demonstration
- Internships Overview
- Resume Writing Workshop
- LinkedIn/Networking Tips
- Job & Internship Search Strategies
Academic Internship Process
Encourage students to participate in internships as they are one of the best ways to explore potential career fields. Students will gain a better understanding of the work environment, gain valuable field related skills, and expand their network for future opportunities. Additional information can be found on the Academic Internships page.
