How You Can Help Current Carleton Students

 

If you have moved or changed jobs, please help up keep our records current. Alert the college by filling out this on-line form to update your records in Carleton's central databases.

Ways To Help

Offer information--Alumni can offer valuable information to students regarding job choices, career paths, potential employers, industries, cities, and much much more. You can:

  • Meet with interested students for a meal or at your place or work
  • Answer questions over the phone
  • Give tours of your job site
  • Speak on campus about your field and experiences after college
  • And much more ... Contact the Career Center at 507-646-4293 or e-mail kpeterso@acs.carleton.edu for more information.

Host a student--The Career Center offers students the opportunity to shadow alumni at their place of work in a "Career Exploration." These can be short day-long excursions or even a week, depending on your schedule. Students can observe a working professional (that being you) at his/her place of work to learn what that particular job/organization/industry might be like on a daily basis.

If you want to host a student, please call Kathy Cooper in the Career Center at 507-646-4297 or e-mail kcooper@carleton.edu.


Offer an internship--Students are always looking for work, and are eager to look for employment that can be educational and help them in pursuit of their career goals. If you have an internship for a student, paid or unpaid, please alert the Career Center and let us know about it. We will post it on our searchable database, and in a weekly bulletin distributed to students.

If you are aware of an internship Carleton students might be interested in, or want to offer an intership yourself, please call Kathy Cooper in the Career Center at 507-646-4297 or e-mail kcooper@carleton.edu.


Recruit for a job--If you or your place of business would be interested in hiring Carleton students after they graduate, please contact Mike Hendel at 507-646-4294. We offer recruiting on campus, as well as some other ways to interview students if recruiting is not feasible.
