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.
The University Career Center’s role in fostering career readiness is to help all University of Maryland students:
- Know how their personality, interests, skills, and values relate to a career.
- Navigate career-relevant tools and resources.
- Connect to career-relevant learning experiences.
- Articulate their ability to contribute to a work setting.
- Engage professionals confidently in their areas of interest.
