On top of networking, your major-related organizations might offer workshops on subjects you don’t learn in your coursework.įor example, the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) at my university regularly held workshops on preparing for interviews and the career fair.
These organizations also have many opportunities for members to meet employers that can provide internships or a career after college. While your classes might not allow much time to socialize and meet fellow classmates, in a pre-professional student organization, you can meet just about everyone in your major. I highly recommend that you join a student organization related to your field of study since it can be supplemental to your education and goals after graduation.
