The Career Resource Center
Purpose
and Mission
The Career Resource Center, affectionately known as the “CRC” on
campus, contains a wealth of resources and services to guide
and prepare students for professional career opportunities during
their college years and upon graduation. The CRC is just one
of the many student services Sterling College provides its students
in preparation for a life-long career as a steward of the environment.
These services are always available to alumni.
The Career Resource Center’s mission is to support students
and alumni as they make life-long career decisions and pursue
meaningful work, while promoting environmentally and socially
responsible careers.
The Career Resource Center provides
students with the training, resources, and coaching necessary
for life-long career management:
- First-year students learn self-assessment,
and job search and acquisition skills as they search for
an environmentally
oriented internship that meets their individual
learning objectives.
- Second-year students experience
on-the-job training during their internship, and upon returning
to campus students acquire professional
presentation skills as they actively reflect on their working
experience.
- Juniors have the option of designing
their own semester long learning experience with the CRC’s
guidance and resources.
- Seniors participate in a reflective
Career Development Exit-Interview and are then offered a
variety of workshops and individual services
for implementing post-graduation objectives.
This process experientially teaches
our students the skills and personal exploration techniques they
need to make decisions throughout
their career.
Location
The CRC is on the second floor of Dunbar
Hall, conveniently located above the Dining Hall. The CRC houses
the Career
Library,
the Internship Program, a Computer
Lab and other resources. These resources are available and accessible
to students 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Students may drop in or make an appointment to talk
with staff Monday thru Friday.
Staff
Working with students individually as well as in the classroom,
the CRC staff provides instruction and resources for obtaining
internships, other off-campus work and study placements, summer
and permanent jobs, and further education. The staff creates
an atmosphere that inspires professionalism, optimism and creativity,
and engages students in career exploration in one-on-one settings.
The center is staffed by the
Director, Jennifer Payne, and Sydney Flowers, the Assistant Director,
who has been a member of the Sterling community for over seven
years. The team is rounded out with one or two students, the
CRC Associates. Please feel free to contact them with any questions.
