CAREER CONVERSATIONS
Career Conversations offer students the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a Richmond alum to learn about their career path and make meaningful connections with the Spider Network.
DECONSTRUCTING SERIES
Think of our Deconstructing Series as mini conferences, with breakout sessions and networking opportunities, that deep dive into the major functional areas within an industry.
FOUNDATIONAL WORKSHOPS
Our basic foundational workshops teach essential career development skills, including resumes, interviewing, networking, and more. Our industry-based foundational workshops teach you the hard-skills needed to thrive in a particular-field.
INDUSTRY PANELS
Throughout the year, we host various panels to educate our students about industries of interest, as well as give them the opportunity to network with our recruiting partners.
JOB, INTERNSHIP, & GRADUATE SCHOOL FAIRS
Taking place both in fall and spring, the fairs feature representatives from over 50 organizations, in a variety of industries, who are there to answer your questions and recruit for internships, full-time, and graduate school opportunities.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL
Each of the three undergraduate schools at Richmond offer a unique professional development experience: A&S NEXT, Jepson Edge, and Q-Camp. These programs allow students to explore career possibilities, develop meaningful connections with alumni, build critical skills for future success, and practice articulating their personal story to key audiences.
SPIDER ROAD TRIPS
Hit the road with us to visit employers in major metropolitan areas, like New York City and Silicon Valley, to learn first-hand what it's like to work in an industry. The trips are paired with networking receptions to allow students to meet alumni from the area.
SPIDER SHADOWING
Experience career paths through the eyes of Spider alumni with the Spider Shadowing program. Job shadowing is an impactful way to learn about an industry, career path, or specific organization through direct exposure to the people, day-to-day work, and culture of a job.
