The University Career Center has made the following alterations and provisions for the period between March 23 – May 22. These measures have been adopted to maximize the health and safety of students and visiting employers, and minimize as much as possible the disruption to career assistance.
- All in-person career advising will be converted to virtual appointments. Drop-in hours are suspended. Students may schedule individual virtual appointments through Careers4Terps. Click on "Request a Career Advising Appointment" on the Careers4Terps homepage. Once the appointment is scheduled, the career advisor will reach out with additional information of how they will meet virtually (i.e. zoom, google hangouts, webex, phone, etc.).
- All in-person career events, workshops, employer events, and employer information sessions are suspended. Some career and employer events may be rescheduled for later in the semester, or will be held virtually. The Career Center will post announcements about virtual events through the events calendar of our website.
- We are aware of the disruption and concern that the COVID-19 crisis may pose to students’ career plans, especially for those currently involved in internships, seeking summer opportunities, or transitioning into the workforce full time after graduation. The Center will maintain a special webpage with tips and resources to help navigate the job or internship search during the COVID-19 crisis.
- Encourage the use of LinkedIn Learning. UMD students, have free access to LinkedIn Learning, an online learning service that can help professionals learn a variety of skills to achieve their personal and professional goals. The Career Center have identified a few LinkedIn Learning Modules that can assist students in their career pursuits.
As always, The University Career Center remains committed to helping students navigate their career journey.
