To support both undergraduate and graduate alumni as they navigate their careers, the Isenberg Office of Career Success is launching a new Alumni Career Workshop Series designed for recent alumni within their first five years after graduation. These virtual 30-minute workshops will be offered monthly and focus on practical career development topics such as career growth, networking, professional confidence, and navigating change in today’s workplace.
Thursday, July 9th 12-12:30pm EST
Career Navigation
Whether you graduated six months ago or are approaching your five-year reunion, the early years of your career can be full of unexpected challenges and opportunities. Join us for a candid conversation about navigating career growth, building confidence, networking, and making sense of the twists and turns that often come with life after college.
Wednesday, August 12th, 12-12:30pm EST
Professional Skills and Community Building
Many professionals know networking is important, but few are taught how to do it in a way that feels genuine. In this session, we’ll explore practical strategies for building and maintaining professional relationships, leveraging the UMass alumni network, and creating opportunities through meaningful connections rather than transactional interactions.
