Career Ready Means Students

Career readiness encompasses everything that a student needs to learn and execute to proactively pursue their current and evolving career goals.  It includes the demonstration of core competencies, such as academic knowledge and transferable skills, attained both in and outside of academic programs.

You should definitely consider the following ways to identify and begin networking with UMD alumni.

Learning about industries and career opportunities that may be potential “next careers” involves gathering information and perhaps even doing some volunteering!

Share information, advice, and insights about your career field/industry with a group of current students participating on panels, in webinars, critiquing resumes, or engaging in mock interviews.  If interested, contact Linda LeNoir at llenoir@umd.edu.

Please review our policies and procedures carefully to help ensure the best possible experience while recruiting at the University of Maryland. These guidelines have been produced in accordance with the guiding principles set forth by NACE and their Principles for Ethical Professional Practice.
