The School of Labor and Employment Relations will sponsor a Virtual Student/Alumni Career Workshop on Thursday, October 29, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. LER alumni working in a range of careers will speak about career options and strategies. You will have the chance to interact in small groups with alumni to get to know everyone and further discuss different career options.

This is an incredible opportunity for LER/LHR majors and HRER graduate students to meet highly successful alumni and learn more about the different career paths available. It is an ideal occasion to practice your networking skills and get answers from practitioners to questions you might have, including:

• What is the difference between working as a human resource generalist and a human resource specialist?
• What is involved in working as a consultant?
• Can I work in government with a degree from the School of LER?
• How important is it to do an internship?
• Do unions hire School of LER graduates and what kind of work would I do for a union?
