Career Resources for the Classroom

Information about Majors and Career Paths - Need some ideas to assist students in exploring how their curriculum relates to careers? Our online Exploring Majors and Related Careers resource can help.

Tours - We encourage faculty members to bring their classes to the Office of Career Services for a tour so we can introduce your students to our library and resources. To arrange a class tour, please contact our office at 978-934-2355.

Don't Cancel Class Program - UMass Lowell's Office of Career Services understands that missing a class may sometimes be unavoidable. When those situations arise, Career Services' "Don't Cancel Class" program provides a way for your class to meet as usual, but with one of our career professionals who will deliver a career-related presentation designed to help students prepare for the world of work.

Presentations we could bring to your class, tailored as needed to your particular students include

• Writing Resumes that Initiate Interviews
• Cover letters that Get Results
• Selling Your Best Qualities in Job Interviews
• How to Make the Most of Internships and Co-ops
• Work the Room: Career Fair Preparation
• Networking for Professional Development
• Transitioning from Student to Professional
• What Can I do with a Major in ...?
• Job Hunting Strategies.
  

Please allow us as much time as possible to schedule a presentation; however, we may be able to accommodate short-notice requests. To arrange a presentation for your class by a Career Services professional, please call or e-mail the Office of Career Services at 978-934-2355 or career_services@uml.edu.
