For nearly a decade, KSC Alumni Association volunteers have been sharing their expertise and experience to help students make their way successfully into the career world. Those volunteers—representing such diverse professions as banking, insurance, manufacturing, education, the nonprofit sector, health, and graphic design—meet with students, individually and in larger groups, to help them explore career avenues, develop resumes, and prepare for job interviews. Since they’ve been there, the alumni realize how daunting the transition from classroom to career can be, and they’re happy to help smooth the way for new job seekers. The Alumni Association Board of Directors has established a standing committee dedicated to this one strategic impact area; they’ve devoted hundreds of hours to aiding students who are seeking employment.

This spring, alumni will be meeting individually with nearly a hundred students in preparatory workshops, to review resumes and conduct portfolio reviews. Students who have participated in the past have said how much they appreciate the opportunity to receive constructive feedback. And the alumni volunteers say how much they enjoy connecting with current students and sharing their experience and advice.
