Career Services

Preparing for your job search is an exciting time but can also be overwhelming if you don’t know where or how to begin. As an SMGT student, you will have access to a range of resources including information on career exploration, self-assessments, career outlook, campus career services, and various job search sites.

 

Professional Organizations and Networking

Joining Professional Organizations can provide opportunities for mentoring, professional development, networking, and other resources. Networking, or forming connections with other industry professionals, is essential for professional success. As an SMGT student, you may receive guidance related to professional organizations, networking tips, and attending conferences.

 

Gaining Experience

Begin with the end in mind. It is never too early to consider creative ways to build your professional portfolio and gain experience in the Sustainable Management industry. There are many opportunities to participate in throughout your academic journey to immediately apply newly gained knowledge, strengthen existing transferable skills, and develop new areas of proficiency. During your time in the program, you will participate in a capstone fieldwork experience, and you’ll have access to resources related to internships and volunteer opportunities. Check out the following Blog to learn more about how to gain relevant experience.

 

Preparing for Graduation & Commencement Information

As you finish up your courses in the SMGT program, the student services team will be happy to assist in connecting you with appropriate campus resources for graduation.

 

Applying for a Position

Once you have identified positions of interest, it is time to start the application process. As an SMGT student, you will have access to tips for increasing your likelihood of landing your dream job. Some of the resources include information on writing a cover letter, tailoring your resume, and interview etiquette.

Sustainable Management Certifications

As students learn more about the field of Sustainable Management, many express interest in supplementing their degree program with additional certifications and opportunities. As a student in the program, you will have access to a list of resources to continue to expand your education and stay at the forefront of the Sustainability industry.

Meet Your Success Coach

Robin Schwenn

My college years were some of the best years of my life, but it did come with many different challenges. From balancing school and work (juggling 4 different jobs at one time) to getting through some pretty tough courses, with a little trial and error, I was able to find strategies to move forward and reach my goals successfully. I enjoy working with students to help them find solutions that work for their unique situations and learning styles.
