Career development is a significant component of the ACCESS Program. The program strives to provide students with the support needed to develop the knowledge and skills required to secure and maintain gainful employment after graduation. Students explore their career preferences through career assessments, career research, job shadow experiences, and internships during their freshman and sophomore years. By the end of their sophomore year, students declare their ACCESS Programs Area of Focus, which guides their placements for internships and audit course enrollment during junior and senior years. This helps them develop the hard skills and knowledge needed to work in a specific career industry.
