Career Development
Allow Career Services to assist you in learning about NACE Employee Career Readiness Competencies and ERAU Mentorship Programs to help you become "Career Ready."
Your academic degree prepares you with technical knowledge in your selected career field while Career Services, through our partnership with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), helps you enhance career readiness skills increasing your career competitiveness and potential. Individuals who are “Career Ready” demonstrate to employers their proficiency in career and self-development, communication, critical thinking, equity and inclusion, leadership, professionalism, teamwork and technology.
Career Services will gladly help connect you to your Academic Advisor or provide referral to the appropriate College and faculty subject matter expert for questions about career advisement or guidance regarding selection of a degree program. We also encourage you to become familiar with Student Success Services offered through the Colleges of Arts and Sciences and Business
