Career Support Services for Alumni

  1. Resources & Benefits for Alumni
  2. Career Support Services for Alumni

You're always part of the pride—including access to career guidance after graduation.

Whether you're looking to review effective job search strategies, craft an updated resume, or make a strategic career transition, the Career Design and Development team can help.

Career Guidance

As an alumnus, you are invited to attend all events hosted by Career Design and Development including professional skills workshops, employer information sessions, and career fairs.

In addition, all online resources may be accessed 24/7 on their public resource site.

  • For alumni who have graduated in the last 24 months, Career Design and Development offers the same level of access to career services as for current students. These services include individual in-person or telephone/Skype appointments with a career counselor and access to Handshake, Widener's online job site.
  • For alumni who have graduated more than 24 months ago, Career Design and Development offers up to two one hour in-person or telephone/Skype consultations with a career counselor. In addition to resume and cover letter reviews, we can provide guidance on LinkedIn and other career connection platforms.

Alumni who have been inactive for more than two years may be removed from Handshake. Please contact Career Design and Development at careers@widener.edu if you have trouble logging in.

To schedule a career counseling appointment or learn more about mentoring opportunities, stop by the Career Design & Development office or call 610-499-4176.
