Premise
In order to thrive in today’s competitive job market, students need to know what skills they have to offer, take charge, and drive their career. Successful job applicants apply a proactive and multi-dimensional approach to the job search process.
The key for students is not only to acquire practical knowledge but to practice the skills required to successfully gain employment post-graduation.
Description
When a job posting is online, who can apply? Anyone with computer access and relevant skills can potentially apply. What sets an applicant apart from others who apply? How do recruiters find suitable candidates? What factors increase the likelihood for a hiring manager to meet a job applicant? What are some strategies to ace the interview process?
This program seeks to equip students with necessary personal and professional skills, to enhance their
likelihood of securing ideal job roles after graduation. Students learn how to conduct market research,
stay informed as to how industry changes may affect their job searches, craft an effective and
impactful resume and cover letter, create an ‘All Star’ LinkedIn profile, build connections both online
and offline, and prepare to ace the interview process.
An asynchronous (digital) format is used to engage all learners to discuss the baseline content and core principles, which students can do anywhere, anytime. Delivering content online also dramatically reduces the need for physical facilities, logistics planning, and manpower required for content delivery.
Students discuss the their understanding of concepts for each topic and it opens up the opportunity for learning from each other. Under the guidance of career counselors, students apply what they have learned, and have their queries answered to deepen collective learning. Career counselors can also conduct one-on-one with individual students, to review drafts and provide individualized feedback.
