A university’s career center can help with job applications, internship searches, and contacting alumni in the field.
FREMONT, CA: It is easy to take the university’s student services for granted. Still, things like counseling or career coaching might be prohibitively expensive in the ‘real world’ and can significantly affect overall well-being and personal development. So make sure one is aware of all of the amenities offered on campus, starting with these four incredible student services that every student should take advantage of.
1.Career Guidance
Attending career counseling courses at the university is a great opportunity to learn more about the goals and strengths and the talents one can provide a company and the types of jobs one will be a good fit for. If students are not sure where they want to go with their careers, career counseling can help. It will assist in discovering new possibilities and deciding on a course of action. The university’s career center can also help with job applications, internship searches, and contacting alumni in the field.
2.Networking Training and Events
It is beneficial to begin creating a professional network as soon as feasible to boost employability. Use student services designed to make networking less frightening if it does not come naturally to one. Universities offer networking courses that teach students how to contact experts both online and offline and frequent events that connect students with professionals to help one maximize the chances of success.
3.Student Gym
The university should offer a student gym on campus that is often inexpensive and conveniently placed for dropping in before or after classes. Individual training, classes, and a fitness test are vital for students.
4.Study Workshops and Training
Some universities provide study skills workshops and training courses to teach students how to revise effectively and manage their time. Some sessions are more tailored to the participants than others. For example, one university’s study skills workshop for international master’s students aims to teach overseas postgraduate students unfamiliar with the Dutch educational system efficient revising tactics and skills.
