Last year, Penn State Smeal Alumni Career Services helped alumni enhance their skills and make meaningful connections. Here’s how:
Lifelong Learning Programs
Webinars and Podcasts
Monthly live webinars and podcast episodes feature alumni, executive recruiters, and Penn State Smeal professors with advice and knowledge on trending topics in business. A robust library of more than 100 on-demand programs is available for busy professionals and encore careerists. Upcoming programs include “Strategy and Negotiation: Tips from Smeal ACS Coaches” on Sept. 8.
