CSI ASAP|ACE Career Development
Career Development is the process of choosing a career pathway, setting goals, and developing career competencies to bring you closer toward your intended job, skillset, and lifestyle. From program entry to graduation, we will support you in developing essential skills and college-and-career competencies. All ASAP|ACE students will participate in a career development activity/event facilitated by our in-house Career Specialist or colleagues in the Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) every semester.
Guided by the NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) competency framework, the ASAP|ACE Team develops, coordinates, and supports career development and learning activities. During your time in ASAP|ACE, you will develop and build on eight competency areas, which are deemed essential for career readiness, life preparedness, and academic achievement.
ASAP|ACE Career Development is committed to supporting students with:
- Exploring, identifying, and solidifying their intended career path.
- Helping students chart a career development plan, focusing on learning and pre-professional opportunities (e.g. internship, undergraduate research, community and campus engagement, etc.) that will prepare them for a meaningful and fulfilling career.
