Career Development Program

Mission

The mission of the career development program is to empower MIT alumni/ae to take charge of their careers. Toward this end, we aim to:

• Make Bay Area MIT alumni aware of the need to MANAGE their careers and PLAN for their professional futures. 
• Help each participating alumnus/a to articulate goals and a roadmap for the career s/he would like to have.  Then, provide guidance on how to recognize and seize opportunities that can move them toward these goals. 
• Support these objectives through various events, including: 

• "Model of success" presentations by "successful" people. 
• Presentations addressing "exciting" fields of work and how one gets into them. 
• Instructional workshops and presentations.
