CPT Three-Week Career Strategies Workshop Outline
All topics are taught in modules which include lectures, writing, and a formalized speaking practice called Speed Networking. Students practice both telephone and in-person interviewing. Each student is given 50 to 100 opportunities to practice interviews and receive feedback.
Coaches in our Computer Science Career Center are experienced professionals with backgrounds in computer science and writing, editing, business, and IT recruiting.
The course is team taught, with each professional presenting the topic of his or her expertise.
“For me, in the end it paid off, because I had all the skills I needed to secure a high paying practicum in a U.S. company. It’s a win-win situation, because you and the University work together to secure a practicum for yourself, and from that practicum, you pay your loan—so the University wins, and you win, and everybody is happy.”
