Explore the Career Center's Resources | July 18, 2023

Hello Jumbos,

This week we'll be exploring resources provided by Tufts Career Center! If you have additional questions, you can always reach out to the Career Center at careercenter@tufts.edu.

Your first year is a unique time for growth and exploration. The Tufts Career Center offers extensive resources for exploring career options and developing strategies for pursuing your goals. These include career education programs, Career Fellows (undergraduate peer advisors) to introduce you to the Career Center, individual career advising appointments, and comprehensive tools designed to help you assess your skills, interests, values, competencies, and experiences. You'll hear more from our team this fall, but in the meantime, we'll answer three of the most common questions about the Career Center:

7 weeks, 1 credit, Fridays at 10:20 a.m.–12 noon

This course is a perfect introduction for first- and second-year students or anyone just getting started on their career journey. This course is a half-semester and runs for the first 7 weeks of the fall semester. You'll learn how to use design thinking to find meaningful experiences in college and jumpstart your career exploration. Included will be fun and engaging activities and speakers, as well as an opportunity to build a supportive community with other students. By the end of this course, you will have created a plan to kick off your career exploration while at Tufts.

You can find the Career Center First Year Course in SIS.

We hope you're making good progress on your New Student Checklist! Following are a few key items this month.
