Explore a Career Change
Focus Your Career Workshop Series
Many alumni who consider changing their career are unclear about the position, company, and industry in which they will be most successful. This course uses directed exercises to identify the parameters of your “ideal job.” Completing the ideal job parameters exercises qualifies you to participate in a Career Brainstorming Session with key faculty and career staff who will help you target specific positions, companies, and industries.
The Focus Your Career Program is unique to Bentley University and is our most popular program.
The course meets one evening a week for five weeks. Courses are offered throughout the year and are free of charge for Bentley Alumni. Participants have a choice in how they attend, either by physically coming to campus or by “virtually” attending from a remote location, using their computer and a high speed internet connection.
Cost: This program is free of charge to Alumni. Guests: $150
