Information for Parents
Supporting Your Student with Their Career Goals
As the parent of a current or former Gordon student, your partnership is essential to fostering healthy professional development for your student, as well as other students in our community. Here are just a few ways you can be involved.
Encourage your student's professional development & career readiness
Starting to think about career opportunities early on in the Gordon experience is critical to preparing students for professional success post-college. Career and Connection Institute has a number of professional development and career readiness workshops and events (such as the Graduate Fair, Business & STEM Fair and Job Fairs) that introduce students to networking, internships, employment and graduate school opportunities.
Host an internship for a student
We are always excited about new partnerships that expand internship and employment opportunities for our students. We would love to work with you or your organization to provide new opportunities. Learn more about internships at Gordon.
Get involved with CCI
We have many opportunities for parents throughout the year—from being a resume reviewer or mock interviewer, to participating in industry-specific panels and networking events, to speaking about your own calling and career journey during information sessions. Contact CCI to get involved.
