Faculty Resources & Support

The Center for Career Readiness (CCR) provides career education and support for our undergraduate population in the following areas, resume and cover letter writing, interviewing, career exploration and planning, networking, graduate school planning, job and internship search, personal branding, offer negotiation, and so much more.

We greatly appreciate our wonderful faculty partners and love to collaborate with you for the success of our students. We have a myriad of free resources that are aimed at helping not only our students but our faculty in the classroom and the advising process. Below is our toolkit for advising and support for our faculty colleagues. We want to support you so please reach out with any questions or recommendations for how we can support you better.

How can you help us? If you are already including career readiness in your classes or supporting career-related initiatives such as guest speakers, resume writing, mock interviews, career exploration, or hosting any recruiting events, we want to know about it and support you in any way we can.

Data Requests

Are you looking for specific career-related data for grant applications or departmental accreditation?

The CCR collects responses from our senior class every year with our first destination outcomes report. Please consider setting aside 5-10 minutes in your senior seminars to allow for students to take the survey. Our 2025 first destination graduate student survey is sent starting December 15 for December grads and will be open through October 31 each year. If you need specific data related to your department or major that is not available through our outcomes data page, contact us at careers@norwich.edu.

Handshake

As a faculty member, you can log into Handshake, our career platform, with your SSO. The Handshake Resource Library is full of great resources, tools, assessments, and tutorials. We broke these into different subject areas for ease of use. Specifically, we wanted to highlight these excellent tools:

• Focus2 online assessment for students exploring career paths that may align with their interests.
• Big Interview online platform assists students with interview preparation.
• Resume and cover letter samples for class assignments and mock interview feedback.
• Events includes virtual Norwich career-related events along with off-campus virtual events.
• Resume Rubrics for grading a resume writing assignment in your class.

Internships

We currently have 17 courses available for internship credit. If your department would like to develop an internship course for credit, please contact Associate Director of Academic Internships, Jim Graves at jgraves1@norwich.edu for guidance and support. Learn more in the internships section of Handshake resource library.

Don't Cancel Class Program

We collaborate with many faculty on career readiness and education. Contact us at the beginning of the semester or during the summer, if possible, and we will be happy to schedule a visit to your class.
