University of Hartford has launched the Career Onboarding: Pre-1st Semester Career Readiness Prep program.

Career Services works with students in the summer BEFORE their first semester in the fall to create basic career tools such as the resume and LinkedIn account.

Support is delivered in a variety of forums and methods including Facetime, individual meetings, classroom settings, email, social media, webinars, and professional media.

There is no cost for this service and it voluntary for students to participate.

We are focused on helping students to become career ready and pursue internships and careers they are passionate about.
