Presenting student Career Destinations and the Career Center’s top strategic priorities

Externships (short job shadowing experiences) and internships connect academics with the work world, giving students exposure to the workplace, new skills, and an edge in the job search.

Our career counseling staff presents programs, prepares resources, and meets one-on-one with students and alumni to help them make informed decisions about their futures.

Augmenting Service for Letters & Science Students Addressing the critical needs of L&S students is one of our top priorities and we are adding staffing and resources to help these students find career paths while building the skills employers value most. We are also proud to introduce a multi-faceted suite of online tools called “Career Ladders for Letter & Science.”

Expanding Internship Opportunities Today’s students see earning a degree as a critical investment in their futures and believe internships, externships, and their variations are integral parts of a meaningful college experience. Providing internships has always been one of our major priorities and going forward we are giving our already substantial internship function even more prominence and devoted resources by organizing a new internship structure at the Career Center.

Embarking on the “Employer 100 Initiative” Our staff will visit a minimum of 100 employers in the coming year to learn the latest hiring and work place trends to inform our work with students. These outreach efforts will also lead to greater employer participation in Career Center events and more externship, internship, and job opportunities.

Customizing Counseling for Constituencies We are transitioning our counseling and programs model from a career field based model to a constituency based model, wherein services will be customized for different sets of students from Berkeley’s different schools and colleges and also for several student populations, including: • Colleges of Engineering and Chemistry (also includes • Diversity College of Letters & Science Math, Physical Science, and • Haas School of Business Computer Science) • International Students • College of Letters & Science (includes Interdisciplinary • Grad Students, PhDs & Postdocs Studies, Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences) • Pre-Med, Pre-Health & Sciences (includes Letters & • College of Environmental Design Science Biological Sciences, MCB, IB, and Public Health) • College of Natural Resources

Students, employers, and campus partners are very positive about its open and vibrant design. With our large event space, we held Employer Info Sessions for the first time.

Career Ladders for L&S. Through the generous support of a Cal alumnus, we launched this innovative portfolio of online tools, including videos, a gallery of alumni testimonials, and an online skills tool.
