Education & Preparation
Our staff of career advisors and career development professionals are equipped with the knowledge and resources to support students. From free access to LinkedIn Learning to in-person and virtual mock interviews, students have everything they need to grow their careers.
In addition to online resources available 24/7, the O’Brien Center hosts workshops, resume reviews and panel events to give students access to employers before entering the workforce.
Empowerment to Connect
Once students are prepared with a resume, elevator pitch and career industry knowledge, they’re ready to connect with employers at career fairs, site visits, networking opportunities and other signature events. The connections made at these events often lead to internships and full-time job offers. For guaranteed internships and personalized career guidance within a cohort, consider applying to the Warriors at Work program.
