Hundreds of students entering their first year of college have absolutely no idea what they want to do as a career path. Some think they do, but then change it three years in. What if there was a place a student could go to for career path advice, right on campus? Well, that’s where the Hood College Career Center comes in.
The Career Center, which can be found on the second floor of the Apple building connected to Whitaker, is the place to go to when a student needs an internship, resume critiquing, career help, volunteering opportunities, etc. The Career Center has plenty of options for students to engage in networking and finding a job after college that is suitable for them.
Lana Veres, the Manager of Experiential Learning Programs, believes that gaining career experience through an internship is ideal if the student wants real world skills that apply to their major.
Alissa Hart, the Career Development Program Manager, helps students make a perfect resume and also organizes volunteer opportunities, such as the Civic Engagement week during fall break where students volunteers all over Frederick County.
