Stay involved with JCC
- Share your career journey by speaking on a career discovery panel and/or in a classroom.
- Become a career mentor! One of the best ways for students to explore career pathways is by connecting with a mentor. If you become a mentor, you should expect to connect with your mentee at least once per month (in person or via phone, email, or Zoom), and be willing to give advice and answer questions regarding your educational and professional career journey.
- Host a JCC student at your place of employment for a job shadow, workplace tour, or internship. These hands-on experiences will help students see what a "day in the life" is like for a particular job and industry.
- Consider donating to our J. Hawk Career Closet. Launched in fall 2023, the career closet helps students build a professional wardrobe for free.
- Connect with Alumni Relations to learn about more JCC alumni resources and join the Alumni Association.
