Career Development Office
AUR provides a variety of services designed primarily to assist degree-seeking students who want to explore career opportunities, develop skills for success in the workplace, and complete an internship in Rome or elsewhere. The Career Development Advisor, Prof. Clare Iscra, maintains an office in building A. There are regular weekly office hours; appointments can be scheduled in advance and the office also operates on a ‘drop-in’ basis. Specific services are listed below.

Workshops for Career Planning
Four 90 minute workshops are scheduled every semester. These are interactive sessions designed to provide both the basics and a set of ‘tools for success’ in Career Considerations, Resume/CV Preparation, Job Searching, and Interview Skills. Workshop schedules for each semester are posted on the Career Development Bulletin Board, and each workshop is announced through flyers and class announcements.

Individual Career Planning & Counseling
Degree-seeking students are encouraged to use the Career Development Office for individual assistance in any (or all) of these areas: career information searches, web-based career testing, resume/CV preparation, general job searches, job searches through University contacts, and interview preparation.

Internship Opportunities
An internship is an experience where a degree-seeking student works for an employer and is given an opportunity to observe, participate, gain confidence and learn in a professional work setting. An internship gives you an opportunity to put theory into practice, learn outside the classroom and earn 3 credits.

If you are a full time junior or senior student in good academic standing (GPA 2.0 or above), you are eligible to apply for an internship. Consult your academic advisor for details and take advantage of the great opportunities offered to you!

Job Opportunities
The Career Development Office coordinates job matching opportunities for degree-seeking students through employer listings and job searches. Position vacancies are listed on the Career Development Bulletin Board, and the Office can assist with the preparation for specific applications for job opportunities.

Career Development Bulletin Board
Information about AUR’s Career Development activities and specific job opportunities can be found on the designated bulletin board located at the entrance to the Computer Lab in Building A.
