You can explore careers in a number of different ways through CBA Career Services:

These tools can help you figure out what business major(s) are best for you and/or what industry is a good fit.

- Participate in the Explore program series-these are employer panels that provide you with an opportunity to learn specific business majors.
- Participate in the Career Insights Program-these are groups focused on a specific job type. You will have the opportunity to learn more about these specific fields, how to be effective at finding a job and be able to network with employers and alumni in these job types.
- Job Shadowing and Informational Interviews-how do you know if you will like something (or won't like something) if you don't try it? By spending a day with a professional in the career you are considering you will experience the work firsthand. This will help you confirm this is the right choice for you or let you start thinking of other career options. Plus it is a great way to start building your professional network.
