Ways to Connect with CLA Students
through CLA Career Services
We need YOU! From being a guest speaker in a career class to volunteering at one of our events, employers, alumni, parents and friends of the University are important resources for liberal arts students. Learn more below....
Classroom and Event Speakers
Be a presenter, speaker or a panelist in one of our career-development courses or at an event. This may include discussing your career, providing advice on resumes and job searching, discussing the value of a liberal arts degree, or sharing your advice about how to make the best of college and other experiences.
Practice Interview Days
Volunteer to facilitate 45-minute practice interviews in our career office. By doing so, you help students prepare for behavioral-based interview questions, then provide them with tips about interviewing effectively and dressing appropriately.
Company Site Visits
Invite a group of CLA students to your organization for a tour and a brief presentation. This is a great way to connect with students and provide them with information about your organization, and to discuss the value of a liberal arts degree and the types of careers they might be qualified for.
Resume Critiques
Volunteer to spend a couple of hours at the Career and Community Learning Center offering resume feedback and tips to CLA students.
Career of the Month
The Career and Community Learning Center spotlights a different career each month in our Resource Room. Students can browse these informational displays to learn about career options and see profiles of liberal arts graduates working in that field.
Informational Interviews
Be on a list of contacts willing to do an informational interview with students who are exploring career options. Students would ask you questions about your career to determine if that line of work is a good fit for them. Informational interviews can be done via email or phone.
Sponsor a Career Event or Resource
Increase your organization’s branding with CLA students by sponsoring an event or resource for CLA students. Financial gifts of all sizes will benefit CLA students and increase your organization’s name recognition with them.
If you're interested in connecting with CLA students, please complete our Information Form. If you have questions, call 612-624-7577 or email hirecla at umn.edu.
