Center for Career Readiness & Life Skills (Old CCD)

  • Career Center Alumni-in-Residence

    Note: One of the Alumni-in-Residence is Ali DeGirolamo, Mayoral Aide at City of Waterbury

    The Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills’ Alumni-in-Residence Program is officially underway for the semester!

     

    This spring, we have five Alumni-in-Residence who are available to connect with students to provide valuable career guidance. These alumni will host virtual office hours each month, offering one-on-one sessions to help students with a variety of career-related topics.

     

    How Alumni-in-Residence Can Help:

    • Career Path Exploration: Helping students explore industries and job roles based on the alum’s own career experiences.
    • Resume Feedback: Offering advice on creating tailored, impactful resumes for specific industries and positions.
    • Industry Trends: Providing insights into the latest trends and developments in various fields to better prepare students for the job market.
    • Career Advancement: Sharing professional development opportunities and strategies for career progression after graduation. 
    • Company & Job Insights: Giving students a deeper understanding of their employer, workplace culture, and the realities of specific job roles.

     

    This is a fantastic opportunity for students to network and get personalized advice from alumni who have been in their shoes.

     

    Please encourage your students to sign up for a session! Spots are limited and students need to register in advance.
