Speakers to discuss perks of alternative careers
The University Career Center will hold a panel discussion of speakers from the Peace Corps, Americorps and Teach for America tomorrow. Four to six speakers will share their experiences with students who are interested in alternative careers.
"These are opportunities for service that lead to other careers," said Betty Baron, Peace Corps coordinator. "Employers look at these kinds of things as internships and as service learning, which is big these days."
Baron said students who participated in an alternative career would be
able to use their experience to stand out to future employers. Students will learn patience, responsibility, cultural sensitivity and another language, she said.
The Peace Corps is an international organization. Teach for America and Americorps are both domestic organizations. The University has approximately 40 Peace Corps volunteers.
The panel is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union.
