Career Week Keynote

Each fall, Keene State invites representatives from several businesses to campus for the Career Speaker Series. This creates an opportunity for students to gain good perspective on the job market and learn about different career opportunities, and for the businesses to attract new talent. Especially if you’re trying to figure out what you want to do after college, and want help preparing for life in the real world, the Career Speaker Series offers some invaluable information, including what these businesses do, what their culture is, what kinds of internships and careers they offer, and what kinds of skills you might need.

All Career Speaker events are held at 6 p.m. in Rhodes S203. Please check out the Series web page for the specifics on each presentation. Open to all students, all majors, and all class years. Come prepared with questions and bring your resume!
