About ICUNJ

The Career Exploration Series Connect Students to Industries and Companies

Students Engage with Employers Remotely

The Independent Colleges and Universities for New Jersey is excited to connect students to industries and companies in a new way.  Experiential learning (internships, project support, a day-in-the-life) is increasingly important as a way to prepare for a career, explore industries, and build a resume.  Understanding how to find opportunities, connect with employers, and apply for positions is one of the goals of the ICUNJ Career Exploration Series. The Independent College Fund of New Jersey is working with its donors and trustees to develop new ways of building connections, gaining insight into industries, and promoting career options.

The Career Exploration Series discussions with industry leaders are designed to help students

  • Expand their understanding of career opportunities
  • Explore industry innovations requiring their knowledge and expertise
  • Build professional networks by interacting with industry professionals
  • Promote experiential learning opportunities
  • Build a pathway to success.

Virtual Career Exploration

We look forward to offering more programming connecting students to industries and companies.
