Family Members
It is our mission to help students discover their career passion through a process of personal discovery, discernment, and providing guidance as they actively pursue career opportunities. As you already know, the career development process extends beyond the campus and into the world. The sooner our students begin to gain experience of any kind with potential career paths, the better. This is where you can help!
Supporting Your Student
Learn ways to support your student with our First Year and Career Checklist.
Some quick tips on more ways you can support your student through the career development process:
- Consider doing some research around advice for parents on giving career guidance to their children. We’re especially fond of this .
- Encourage your student to visit The Career Center when the time is right for them. Help us get the word out that our office is not only about resume reviews and job searches later in college; we want to support their exploration process beginning with the first year.
- Make sure your student gets registered with Handshake, Loyola’s home for job and internship postings, career-related events, and making appointments with our team.
- Promote networking. Introduce your student to other professionals - your co-workers, friends, people you know through professional, community and social experiences.
- Keep an eye on upcoming campus career-related events and ask your student if they are planning to attend them. Students can find Loyola-sponsored and employer-sponsored events through Handshake.
