Davenport University Career Services can help you plan the next stages in your career and assess your strengths and interests as you consider a career change. We can help you incorporate up-to-date networking tools and strategies into your professional life or career growth.
One of the most recent powerful professional networking tools is LinkedIn [1]. It's important to treat this networking site differently than your common social networking sites, such as Facebook, and we provide some important do's and don'ts for this site here [2].
Our alumni also play a crucial role in the professional development of our current students. As mentors, through participation in our professional development events and workshops, as a member of the Davenport University Career Services Employer Advisory Board, or simply by posting open positions available in your organization to DUCareerNET [3], you can be meaningful part of the professional development of future DU graduates!
Davenport University also offers career expanding certifications and training through IPEX [4], the Institute for Professional Excellence. Click on the above link and learn more about how you can advance your professional skill sets through IPEX.
Career Services offers a number of resources to help you grow your capabilities within the work place including hard copy resources, presentations like this one [5]!, and internet resources for all levels of student and alumni.
