Career Readiness Program
The Career Readiness Program is a series of workshops and resources offered each term to encourage UO international students to start preparing, as a college student, for a future career. Early career preparation will give you the confidence and skills necessary to help you land a job once you complete your degree.
Early career preparation can include one or more of the following:
- Getting a job on campus
- Getting an off-campus internship (paid or unpaid) during the summer vacation period
- Learning about employment benefits for international students
- Choosing or changing a major
- Understanding the U.S. business culture and norms
- Improving your business English language skills
- Learning how to develop a resume (C.V.) which highlights your education, experience and skills
- Learning how to interview for a job
