Career Launch Academy
Land the job or internship you want, without having connections or “the best” resume.
Whether you have zero or 200 professional contacts, Career Launch Academy will help you grow your network while building up your networking skills to help you land your next internship or job.
Career Launch Academy is a Networking Bootcamp that helps students develop relationships with professionals in their career field. The program will help students develop new connections, reconnect with existing connections, learn how to set up and conduct Career Conversations, and how to potentially turn those conversations into jobs or internships.

- How to identify professionals at the companies and/or organizations you’d love to work for, and exactly how to land a meeting with them
- How to reconnect with people you’ve met to inquire about their career and/or be introduced to people in their network
