Career coaching
From the first year forward, W. P. Carey career coaches work one-on-one with students to define the pertinent fundamental issues, identify useful resources and tools, offer advice on job search processes, and provide support and encouragement for long-term career success. Discussions during these sessions are confidential. After meeting with their career coach, students frequently report that they are reassured and on the right track to succeed in the job market.
Peer and professional mentorship
As a business student, you'll be encouraged to develop valuable strategic relationships with mentors throughout your time at Arizona State University. No matter what your goals are — academic and collegiate success, career exploration, or personal and professional development — mentoring is an exceptional way to gain the connections and opportunities you need to thrive.
