Career Development
Students enrolled in Duquesne's Palumbo Donahue School of Business are focused on beginning a career, not simply getting a job. Helping students achieve success from the start is a priority at the University's Center for Career Development. Taking a dual approach to aiding business students, the Center for Career Development provides career preparation programs tailored to meet the needs of each student while fostering key relationships with businesses and organizations that are potential internship sites and future employers.
Career Coaching -- one-on-one appointments with the Career Consultant for Business
focusing on tips for developing resumes and cover letters as well as interviewing
and job-search strategies.
Internship and Career Preparation
To encourage students to take advantage of the services offered, the Palumbo-Donahue
School of Business and the Center for Career Development have jointly developed two
courses that provide students with a competitive advantage in the marketplace: Internship
Prep Practicum and Career Prep Practicum.
Internship Prep Practicum - The core knowledge acquired by students in this course
includes major exploration, awareness of career development resources at Duquesne,
resume-writing, and how to find internships.
Career Prep Practicum - The core knowledge acquired by students in this course includes
internship search tips and resources, how to work a career fair, interviewing skills
and networking strategies.
Combined with their academic preparedness, Palumbo Donahue students are poised to
quickly make a difference in business, in society and in the lives of others.
