Build Experience

Experience is the bridge between your degree and successful transition to work. Outside of the classroom experience:

gives you self- knowledge to feel confident about decisions,
assists you in expanding your knowledge of occupational alternatives,
helps you develop a network
helps you learn workplace related skills.

Translate your interests into experience and try on something to discover if it is for you.

There are many different ways to build experience from clubs and extra-curricular involvement to practicum- based coursework, internship opportunities, job shadowing, on campus and community volunteering, to work/study abroad programs.
