  •  â€“ Start developing your skills for free with learning paths from LinkedIn Learning and Microsoft Learn, then practice skills in the GitHub Learning Lab.
  •  â€“ Have you ever wondered what it is like to work in a specific role or with a specific company? Job shadowing a career professional is one way to get a first-hand look by spending a full- or half-day shadowing a professional.
  •  â€“ The ºÚÁÏÍø Career Center offers alternatives to traditional internships through Forage and Parker Dewey, .
    •  â€“ A self-paced virtual experience where you work through business cases developed by leading organizations and gain sought-after skills. You will receive evaluation and feedback from the organization to help your skills grow stronger.
    •  â€“ These paid, virtual micro-internships allow you to complete assignments for companies, while also demonstrating to employers the skills and abilities you possess.
Professional Connections

It’s also important to connect with professionals. You can sign up for a mentor through the  program and connect with ºÚÁÏÍø alumni who are doing work that interests you or graduated with a similar degree. Ask your mentor for job search advice, for insight on their career, what skills are necessary for success in the field, what they would have done differently and anything else that will help you get hired.
