Fast Track Career Program

The 8-week Fast Track Career Program series focuses on a particular career field each week. These include: Marketing & Sales; Finance & Consulting; Civil Service & Government; Healthcare & Wellness; Technology & Data; Education & NonProfit; Arts & Entertainment; and Business Operations.

Each week students, especially seniors, who are interested in the specific career field(s) gain understanding of the skills are needed for success, start to learn from alumni currently in the field, and are connected with employers who are hiring.

“All of our alumni participants for the Fast Track Career Weeks Series have been phenomenal,” says Laura McFadden ‘05, associate director for the Young Alumni Career Programs. “They gave the students great insights to a variety of different career paths, fantastic advice, and continue to connect with students!”
