Are you a student who identifies as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, or a Person of Color (BIPOC)? This workshop is designed to provide targeted support for students of color as you build your future career.
In this session we will discuss:
- How to assess and highlight your unique strengths, skills and experiences to employers and to effectively showcase your potential contributions.
- Strategies to assess a company/organization's climate and culture, including access to Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), researching leadership racial demographics, determining opportunities for mentorship, and sample questions to ask in an interview for more insight.
- Special internship programs and professional development opportunities built for students of color to provide opportunities for career exposure and experience.
- Strategies to overcome potential challenges related to bias or discrimination in the workplace.
This workshop will be conducted virtually on a monthly basis through the University Career Center & The President's Promise. If this date doesn’t work for you, check out Handshake for future offerings.
