Career Mentor Program
Allows 20 selected students who are juniors or seniors to network during
the spring semester with a graduate in their field of study. Objectives
are to enhance the student's readiness to enter the workforce and to facilitate
the student's professional job search. Activities may include job shadowing,
professional group meetings, introduction to others in a career field,
resume assistance, and mock interviews for jobs.
Since only a select number of students can participate, the Career
Resource Network committee will interview students to be selected for
the mentor program during the last week of November. Once selected,
the committee will match the student with a graduate in the student's
field of study. The student's program will run
from February through April.
Day on the Job
Provides an excellent opportunity for a USI student who is uncertain of
a major to spend a day or part of a day with a USI graduate. An ongoing
annual program available to all students, Day of the Job matches
students with alumni in the alumni workplace where they can observe and
discuss mutual career interests. The program operates under the simple
premise that USI alumni, working in a variety of professional areas in
Evansville and across the country are well informed about what they do,
and are willing to share career experiences. Students are in need of
information about careers they might enter and also on the classes
needed to be successful in those careers. Once matched with a graduate,
it is the responsibility of the student to arrange a visit at a time
convenient for both schedules.
Alumni Career Resource
Alumni may volunteer as career counselors to USI students. A listing
is available to students in the USI Office of Career Services and Placement.
Alumni-In-Residence
Each school selects a graduate to return to campus to share career
and personal experiences with students and faculty. The first program was
presented in September 1990 as part of the University's 25th Anniversary
activities.
