Kickstart Your Career: Pre-Arrival Program (Designed for First Year Students)

Do you want to get a head start on your career development? The KICKSTART Your Career program is designed to support first year students in their career exploration process.

Through collaborative workshops led by career consultants and peer mentors, you’ll be ready to apply to explore career paths, identify ways to gain experience, find leadership opportunities, and part-time jobs before the semester even starts. A few sample sessions include Building Community and Connections, Identifying Your Strengths, Career Exploration and Action Planning and more!

Participating students will:

• Develop a career exploration action plan to help identify academic and career interests
• Build your network of peers and staff to support your exploration
• Connect to on-campus career resources, including career consultants and services that will assist you with your career development goals throughout your time at Binghamton
• Learn how to use hireBING, Binghamton’s robust online job and internship search network

The KICKSTART Your Career program will be on Sunday, August 16, from 1:00–3:30 p.m in Old Union Hall (near the Dunkin Donuts), and is completely free!

Registration is currently open, and spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The program is open until it reaches capacity. Students will no longer be able to register at that time.

These career programs are open to incoming students of any major, and are coordinated by the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development, Binghamton University’s internationally recognized career center. Please contact careers@binghamton.edu with any questions.
