Description
Many first generation students have been led to believe that "getting a degree" will launch them into a comfortable middle class. Getting the degree is only half of the battle. Many learn how to search for jobs, but no one has taught them how to launch a career. Rowan University has a number of support systems for launching your career, but students often do not know they exist, or how to use them appropriately. Transitioning from student to subject matter expert requires a new mindset. Discussion will be on career coaching, leveraging your skillset, and utilizing social capital.
