Helping Students Make the Connection Between Major and Career
For many students, deciding on a major can seem like a daunting task, however connecting that major to a career path can be even more challenging for liberal arts and science students. Since you have “been there and done that”, consider helping a student with these difficult decisions by serving as a resource in the Career Contact Bank. This database, accessible only by current students, is a way for students to connect with employers and learn more about a particular field of interest. Please visit http://www.gvsu.edu/careercontact/ and click on the “Employer” link to learn more about this valuable tool.
Anther great way to connect with students and help them explore their career options is to provide internship opportunities within your organization. Internships provide students with a valuable work experience that not only assists in career exploration, but enhances their skills and knowledge in a specific field—all while providing you with enthusiastic and inexpensive manpower! Internships are also a great way to evaluate and recruit fresh talent. To learn more about how you can create internship opportunities within your organization, please call the Internship Specialist with GVSU’s Career Services, at 331-2394 (area code 616) .
