Professional development day set

 

Waldorf junior and seniors are invited
to take part in career day on Nov. 2 in Minneapolis.

Waldorf College students will have the opportunity to get a jump-start on their career during a professional development day on Nov. 2 in Minneapolis, Minn.

Sponsored by the Career Center and the Alumni Relations Office, “Living and Working in the Twin Cities" will offer a day packed with information valuable for students who soon will be searching for internships and jobs.

“The event is in the Twin Cities, but it is not only for students who want to go and live there after graduation,” said Mary Reisetter, director of career planning. “Any student who wants to learn the skills that are necessary for a successful job search can benefit from this opportunity.”

The event will be held at Calvary Lutheran Church in Golden Valley, Minn. At 5:30 p.m. the event shifts to the Minneappolis Airport Marriott for a networking session. Students will practice how to make connections with individuals who may be able to help them with their internship and/or job search.


During the day sessions, Waldorf College alumni from different fields will speak about professionalism and ethics in the workplace, networking, building a career portfolio in college and beyond, and life after college. They also will critique students’ resumes and cover letters.


Students will be transported by the college and will leave campus at 7:30 a.m. and return at 9:30 p.m. There is a $10 fee to help cover the cost of transportation. Students will be on their own for lunch. Students will visit the Mall of America before the networking session.

Students interested in attending may RSVP at careers@waldorf.edu by Thursday. For more information, contact Reisetter at careers@waldorf.edu or call her at Ext. 8681.
