CAP Volunteers Needed
The
Office of Career Development (OCD) is currently calling for MBA alumni
volunteers to participate in the Career Advisory Program (CAP). CAP
is designed to provide first-year, full-time MBA students and graduating
MBA students with the opportunity to speak with successful Stern alumni
in a wide range of industries about their careers.
The current economic climate presents a number of challenges for students as they prepare to navigate their post-MBA careers. In response to a tighter job market, NYU Stern launched a number of exciting new programs and outreach initiatives to help students search for jobs more effectively. However, there is no substitute for the insight and guidance that alumni can provide.
We encourage MBA alumni to sign up for CAP, and offer assistance to an MBA student who is involved in a job search. As a member of CAP, you have the opportunity to share personal insights and offer advice on a particular industry and function to a current student. This guidance is crucial for students in identifying career goals and establishing successful job search strategies.
The level of involvement in the program is determined individually by the participating alumnus/a. Contact with a student may range from an e-mail or phone call inquiry to an informational interview or to an ongoing mentor relationship through the search process.

Additional
Opportunities to Get Involved:
OCD places special importance on the active role played by alumni in
the Stern community. If you are not able to participate as a CAP volunteer
but wish to help support Stern students in other ways, we would greatly
appreciate and welcome your involvement and insight. Ways that alumni
can get involved include participating as a guest speaker on panels
and at student conferences, identifying job opportunities at their companies
and participating in additional networking events. If you wish to get
involved on a panel or at a student conference, please contact OCD at
(212) 998-0623 or ocd@stern.nyu.edu.
Also,
if your organization has or expects to have any full-time or summer
intern opportunities, or if you wish to post a job online, please contact
the Office of Career Development at (212) 998-0623, ocd@stern.nyu.edu

to their success and is what makes the Stern School experience so unique
and rewarding.
