What is Experiential Learning?
Experiential Learning is participating in hands-on experiences and reflecting back on them to identify knowledge and skills that you have gained. It can be instrumental in preparing you for entry into the workforce. By participating in career focused experiential learning, you can become more familiar with a career field of interest, expand your professional network, build your resume, increase your marketability to employers, and so much more!
The good news is that there is more than one path to career success! As a Roadrunner, you can try a number of different opportunities to gain hands-on and relevant professional experience before you graduate. Click below to learn more!
As you participate in experiences across campus, they will be added to your very own Experience Transcript. You can use your Experience Transcript to draft your resume, prepare for an interview, apply for graduate school and more! Visit RowdyLink to begin using your Experience Transcript.
