Designed to meet undergraduate students where they are in their career journey, physically on campus or even virtually, Syracuse University Career Services’ newly launched workshop series offers opportunities to learn more about a wide range of valuable and customizable career-related skills and knowledge.

“From never creating a resume before to already having a five-year plan mapped out, we’re working to help undergraduate students leave workshops feeling more confident than when they entered it,” says  Career Services career exploration specialist Kate Mercer, who is helping lead the rollout of and hosting this new on-demand workshop series. “I hope workshops also inspire students to further connect with their school, college, unit career teams and Syracuse University Career Services.”

Career Workshop Requests

Designed with empowering students to take ownership of their professional development top of mind, career workshop requests are open to undergraduate students, including Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), in addition to faculty and staff seeking to grow students’ career confidence.
