The mission of graduate career services
in the Harbert College of Business is to

2
0:00:07.600-->0:00:12.160 align:middle line:90%
prepare our students
to be market ready so that they can be

3
0:00:12.160-->0:00:16.640 align:middle line:90%
what we call highly-desired graduates.
So we want to train them. We want to

4
0:00:16.640-->0:00:20.000 align:middle line:90%
prepare them. We want them to be
confident in their ability to

5
0:00:20.000-->0:00:22.560 align:middle line:90%
practically apply
the things that they learn in the

6
0:00:22.560-->0:00:26.960 align:middle line:90%
classroom so that they can be successful
as soon as they hit the ground in their

7
0:00:26.960-->0:00:31.359 align:middle line:90%
new roles. We've got dedicated resources
from a career and professional

8
0:00:31.359-->0:00:34.960 align:middle line:90%
development standpoint. They get
coaching literally from before they

9
0:00:34.960-->0:00:38.640 align:middle line:90%
enter the program.
We do a number of visits with employers.

10
0:00:38.640-->0:00:42.480 align:middle line:90%
We have a lot of different events
that get them out in the marketplace so

11
0:00:42.480-->0:00:45.600 align:middle line:90%
that they can practice their skills
so they can build the relationships that

12
0:00:45.600-->0:00:51.360 align:middle line:90%
they need. We try and create
opportunities for employers to engage

13
0:00:51.360-->0:00:54.399 align:middle line:90%
with students
on campus. We have career fairs. We have

14
0:00:54.399-->0:00:58.399 align:middle line:90%
our graduate programs roundtable...
so we really had some students go to to

15
0:00:58.399-->0:01:01.600 align:middle line:90%
some phenomenal places.
This past summer we had someone work at

16
0:01:01.600-->0:01:06.080 align:middle line:90%
Coca-Cola. We've had folks go to Intel.
We've had folks go to Amazon.

17
0:01:06.080-->0:01:10.640 align:middle line:90%
So Fortune 10, Fortune 50 companies,
but one of the other things that we're

18
0:01:10.640-->0:01:12.720 align:middle line:90%
really proud of is that our students get
to do

19
0:01:12.720-->0:01:16.080 align:middle line:90%
what they came here to do, right. We don't
really,

20
0:01:16.080-->0:01:19.840 align:middle line:90%
you know, push students to go in a
certain direction we really work with

21
0:01:19.840-->0:01:22.640 align:middle line:90%
them to help them figure out what they
want to do with their career. That's

22
0:01:22.640-->0:01:24.799 align:middle line:90%
really
the focus that we have is to help our

23
0:01:24.799-->0:01:33.520 align:middle line:90%
students launch themselves
out into the marketplace successfully.
