Career Communities
The Career Community is for students who are interested in exploring themselves further and learning more about career options prior to making a decision.
Making career decisions requires two frameworks of understanding; yourself, and the
world of work. Students in this community will participate in activities to gain a
better understanding of their personality, interests, values, and skills, as well
as how majors relate to the world of work, ways to gain experience on-campus, and
making the most of all the resources Skidmore has to offer.
Students in the community are encouraged to participate in events offered by all career
communities.
See how alumni have made creative thought work for them! Explore majors to learn how Skidmore alumni have bridged academics with career, within 6 months of graduating up to 25 years later. See the internship sites where majors gained experiences, and the career communities through the Career Development Center they connected with to get tailored resumes, connections with alumni, and recruiting opportunities.
