Talking With Student During Fall Career Week

Career Planning for Students

Want a fulfilling career when you finish at IUPUI? Of course you do! Many students tell us they come to college to prepare for a career. So start planning now!

First, focus on learning more about yourself. What are your interests? Your key skills? What about your personality and values? These elements, when considered carefully, can help you choose a major and career path that fit you well. Are you aware of available career fields? Try out possible careers with an externship and get the insight of mentors along the way.

Next, be sure to GET INVOLVED. Take leadership roles, work in jobs that support your academic goals, and make connections that can pay off.

RISE to the IUPUI Challenge! Include opportunities in Research, International experience, Service Learning, and Experiential Learning as you make your academic and career plans. These activities make you more marketable as you pursue employment, graduate school, or positions of leadership.

As you move into your job search, you want to be confident and prepared. Use our Career Resources to develop a superb resume, hone your interviewing skills, and network with professionals. Let us know your questions; we're happy to help!
