The Career Services Network, in partnership with Student Athlete Support Services, provides career advising support, employer connections, and multiple networking and career education workshops to support the many career paths student-athletes pursue after graduation.
Career Advising
Student-athletes have several options available for career advising support through either SASS or the Career Services Network. Connect with a career advisor to discuss how to leverage your student-athlete experience and learn more about:
- Assessing your skills and professional interests
- Including your experience as a student-athlete on your professional documents (resumes, cover letters)
- Gaining additional experience through internships, part-time work, and other professional development opportunities
- Developing a job search strategy, including identifying employers who might value your experience as an athlete
- Building a professional network that utilizes alumni mentors
- Preparing for interviews by highlighting key skills and competencies such as work ethic, leadership skills and involvement in teams
- Applying to graduate/professional school
Appointments can be made by emailing a SASS career advisor or via Handshake, where you can schedule time with a general or discipline-specific career advisor from the Career Services Network.
SASS Career Development Program
Student-Athlete Support Services provides student-athletes with ongoing career support by offering an annual Student-Athlete Career Mixer, company contacts and information sessions, a freshman major/career exploration course and career workshops.
