65:907:301 Braven: Leadership and Career Accelerator (030)
This is a foundational course, designed to begin preparing students for the increasingly competitive, globalized job marketplace. It is aimed at students in their sophomore year, junior year, or first year of transfer to Rutgers-Newark who have a hunger to attain a strong post-grad opportunity, though students of all levels and majors can participate. Through online and peer learning, interactive experiences, and reflection, students will build meaningful networks, discover their innate leadership, and cultivate the “hard” and “soft” skills and habits of mind needed to thrive in twenty-first century workplaces and make a positive impact through their careers upon graduation. This course will require your commitment. Nothing good comes easy but this course will be equally rewarding as it is challenging. What you get from this course will depend on what you give, and you need to want to give to this course to get the most out of it.

Specifically, students will consider the connection between public service and democratic citizenship, learn from difference, and bring these lessons into their career journey.
