How can you increase student engagement through meaningful interactions? How has the career cluster model at Rutgers University – New Brunswick evolved since its inception?

Five years ago, the staff from Rutgers University Career Services introduced their career cluster model. Join the staff again as they outline the growth of this program.

Following this program, you will be able to:

Develop an industry-centric career cluster model;
Construct a plan to further incorporate career exploration principles into a first-year student seminar; and
