ACE’s mission is to put students in a resourceful state of mind, offer them academic and career guidance, equip them with the knowledge and resources to plan and achieve their academic and career goals. An important part of this mission supporting faculty as academic and career advisors and collaborate with faculty to develop career resources for students by providing the below:
STUDENT ADVISING
As you are working with students, support them through the career development process and engage them in conversations about their interests. Here are some ways you can contribute to their career planning:
- Encourage students to meet with the ACE Team.
- Encourage students to attend Career Development Workshops. The full schedule is on AUP Engage.
- Urge students to use Compass for their internship or job search.
- Write an effective letter of recommendation for graduate schools.
- Be a strong reference for job and internship applications.
- Recommend that students pursue the GPS - Global Professional Skills Certificate
CLASS VISITS
Please consider us a resource. We can visit your class or department meeting to present on a particular topic, attend department open houses to talk to students about academic advising, careers and internships, or brainstorm with you to create a class visit that is tailored to your course. Email careers [at] aup.edu (careers[at]aup[dot]edu) and a member of our team will get back to you to discuss the potential class visit.
EMPLOYER REFERRALS
Have a guest speaker coming in? Know someone in your network looking for talent? Fostering AUP’s employer network is a huge part of what we do. Please help us with this effort.
- Introduce us to contacts who can help advance the breadth of job and internship opportunities on the AUP database. An introductory email to careers [at] aup.edu (careers[at]aup[dot]edu) is ideal.
- Invite a staff member from the Careers team to attend networking events where employers and/or alumni are present.
- Invite us to classes with guest speakers so that we can also learn about skills and trends of value to employers.
