WKU Advising and Career Development Center launches Career Studio for students

  • Advising and Career Development Center
  • Wednesday, October 2nd, 2019

The WKU Advising and Career Development Center is launching a new initiative.

The Career Studio is a workspace where students can drop in for a quick conversation with a trained staff member or open their laptop and apply for jobs and internships.  Students can talk with a staff member about career issues or get feedback and assistance with resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles. Other topics addressed in the Career Studio include salary negotiation, job search and networking strategy, career fair prep, personal statements, interviewing, and major and career exploration.

The Career Studio is staffed by trained Peer Career Coaches and professional staff members.  The goal is to help students with career issues from the first year through the first job. No appointment needed.

For students wanting individualized help, appointments with one of the Career Coaches can be arranged by calling the ACDC at (270) 745-3095 or scheduled through Handshake.

The Career Studio is located in the Advising and Career Development Center, Downing Student Union, room 2001. Hours are Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Contact: Becky Tinker, (270) 745-3095
