    Personalized Career Path

    We provide personalized support to customize your education plan.

    From internships and career shadowing, to mock interviews and job application coaching, Navigator will be your guide on the journey toward achieving their life and career goals.

    Career Exploration

    Your first year, you will engage in a process that will help you identify your personal strengths and interests.

    You will work with an advisor to draft a plan of study that matches your interests and goals and helps to ensure that you will graduate within the time you expect.

    Career Shadowing or Internships

    Job shadowing allows you to explore specific careers and get a realistic picture of the tasks performed for your desired profession, insuring that your career path is a good fit for your talents and aspirations.

    Your dedicated support team will help you find shadowing and internship opportunities so that you can gain real world experience, boosting your career readiness and employability.

    You will also have opportunities to gain feedback on your resume and be coached through mock interviews by knowledgeable faculty and staff.

    Professional Portfolio Creation

    You will create a professional portfolio that will document your best works, leadership experiences, service projects, and personal reflections on these experiences.

    Your leadership sponsor, faculty advisor, and community mentor will support you in the development of your portfolio beginning in your first year and continuing throughout your academic journey at Newman University.

    You can use your professional portfolio, including your resume and letters of reference, during job interviews or graduate school applications.

    So at Newman, not only do we allow you to customize your education plan, but we encourage that and we feel like that's really one of the benefits of being at a small liberal arts school.

    Here at Newman, we offer a few different ways to get career experience. You can do on -campus internships, you can do off-campus internships, we have co-ops for credit. And the whole purpose is for you to get to work in an environment that you think you might want to work in, apply the knowledge that you're learning on campus, and just just make sure it's a fit.

    We feel strongly that it's not enough to declare a major and pursue that curriculum, but you actually need to get a sense of what that will be when you were in the workforce and practicing that career. So we want to make sure that you have shadowing opportunities, that you're doing internships, that you experience that work so that when you graduate, you're confident that you're going to have a career in which you can excel and you can love doing the work.

    The students will be required to have a portfolio, which is really just an accumulation of different projects that they've done in their coursework here at Newman.

    Every element of your education at Newman, you'll have an opportunity to upload that to your portfolio so you can demonstrate that you have critical thinking skills, you can show that you know how to problem solve. You can include group work that shows that you have the collaboration skills that are most desired by employers. And so you can share this link to your digital portfolio and an employer or prospective graduate school can immediately see the depth of your knowledge and experience.
