Over the course of the three-day event, organized by the Career Center, participants will be given the opportunity to connect with alumni in their fields and learn from students who previously participated in Endeavor. Alumni work with students in small mentorship groups or connect with them more widely in panel discussions. Students are also immersed in potential workplace environments through the liberal arts Career Trek into Boston.
The program allows for many moments of reflection throughout the process, encouraging participants to think critically and deeply about the career paths they may embark upon, according to organizers. The main goal of Endeavor is that undergraduates gain the confidence that what they are learning in the classroom translates into potential careers.
Through Endeavor, the Career Center creates a space in which students can evaluate the skills they already possess and understand how these can equip them to find and excel in their careers.
鈥淓ndeavor 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting iteration of the program as we plan to incorporate alumni in new ways and have recruited an impressive list of Boston-area employer partners to host our Career Trek,鈥� said Career Center Associate Director of Career Education Julianne Smith. 鈥淲ith more than 260 registered students, nearly 100 alumni volunteers, and over a dozen employer partners, the program is beginning to come alive. After bringing this program back to its live, in-person format last year, we鈥檙e thrilled to be able to facilitate this incredible interactive experience for this year鈥檚 cohort.
鈥淪eeing students build confidence in themselves, the skills they are developing at 涩里番下载, and the possibilities for their future is inimitable.鈥�
