Fall 2023 Career Week: Helping Students Achieve Professional Goals
“It’s never too early to begin taking action to achieve your unique professional goals,” is advice frequently shared by school, college and unit career teams in partnership with Syracuse University Career Services.
Supporting students within their unique trajectory to career success is Fall 2023 Career Week, slated for Sept. 25-29. All students, regardless of class year and major, are welcome and encouraged to connect with more than 200 employers by participating in a variety of events. Employers in attendance will be offering internship and post-graduation positions.
Marking new milestones for student-focused professional development and alongside a dedicated Orange network encompassing faculty, staff, alumni, employers and more, is Adam Capozzi, director of Career Services, assessment and student success. “Fall 2023 Career Week is on track to be the largest on-campus gathering of employer partners to date,” he says.
“Our career services network is in the constant pursuit of strengthening the student experience. This is done not only through the evaluation of the types of events hosted but through a dedicated effort to meet and welcome students where they are at any point of their professional development journey. From your first semester to preparing for post-graduation—all students are welcome and encouraged to participate.”
