Getting Started
Monroe Career Services coaches students of all class years through an exploration of career opportunities available to them following graduation.
Before diving into specifics about careers and industries, take stock of the current situation. Students should consider what they bring to the table, and the resources available to them.
Career advisers and extensive programming in Monroe Career Services are available to assist students as they begin the process of self-assessment and career exploration. Work with an adviser to build your personalized action plan to make your goals a reality.

- Desirable skills and competencies
- Necessary or desired experience and training
- Salary expectations
