Even during “normal” times, career preparation can feel confusing and intimidating. Facing that in the midst of a national crisis, is simply put, scary. We can’t fix everything, but we are here to serve Mason Nation as a source of reliable career expertise.
We have reformulated our annual Career Launch workshop series. This year it’ll not only be completely virtual, but will also directly address questions and concerns about career preparation in the age of COVID-19. Whether your student is currently job searching or just want to get strategies and insight from the career experts, Career Launch 2020 is for them.
