Gies Professional Pathway Foundations

Due August 18, 2024

Gies College of Business is thrilled to welcome you to campus in August. Now that you have made the important decision to join Gies for a world-class business education, it is time to think about your career.

As a leader in business education, Gies has prioritized career readiness as an integral part of your education. We have designed an online career-readiness course called the "Gies Professional Pathway Foundations" which introduces you to the in-demand professional competencies that employers desire. This course will provide you with a foundation to maximize your time and experience at Gies, preparing you for long-term career success.

This course must be completed before August 18 as our orientation activities will build upon the course content. In addition, this is a required step before meeting with a career advisor. Prioritizing this course will ensure you are prepared for opportunities, which can happen at any time throughout the year. You will also receive a certificate when you complete the course before August 18
