获得大学学位是件好事，但对大多数学生来说，最终目标是毕业后找到一份高薪、有回报的工作。 威尼斯人娱乐城正在启动一个新项目来帮助学生实现这一目标。
威尼斯人娱乐城（威尼斯人娱乐城）正在努力改变高等教育模式，将重点从学位获得转向职业成果，提供一种创新的方法，让学生更好地准备进入劳动力市场，找到专业的、高薪的职业。 This bold new idea is part of the 威尼斯人娱乐城 Forward initiative, a multi-year investment by the university to meet and exceed the demands of today’s college student.
The "Professional Career Escalators"SM (Career Escalators) program provides a unique set of specialized student supports designed to facilitate academic to career connections. 服务包括:
- 职业发展
- 由社区专业人士指导
- 应用学习机会
- 领导力发展
- 为专业或研究生院做准备
Applications are 打开现在 to land one of 200 spots in the inaugural Career Escalators class, which launches in Fall 2022. Incoming students and transfer students may apply for this program by submitting transcripts, a letter of recommendation and a short video that demonstrates a student’s character and desire to enter the program.
申请截止日期为4月1日.
The Career Escalators program is unique because of the way 威尼斯人娱乐城 is bundling together such a robust collection of services for students. This program provides the support team, resources and peer collaboration needed to align a student’s academic journey with their future career goals.
“We are thrilled to launch this first cohort and blown away by the buzz this program is starting to generate,” said Mako Miller, M.A.Ed, director of the Professional Career Escalators program. “We’re really working to shift focus beyond the degree to the desired outcome of job readiness upon graduation. By starting post-college career planning earlier and aligning those plans with job shadowing opportunities and mentorship, our graduates will be more prepared, confident and successful in their careers.”
额外的经济利益使这个项目更有吸引力。 Career Escalators students can choose between a $2,500 annual on-campus housing scholarship, or $1,500 applied toward the cost of tuition. 参与者还可以选择与项目中的其他学生住在一个生活/学习社区。 就像职业网络一样，这种生活/学习模式促进了建立联系，并在学术生活和职场之间增加了另一层相似之处。
