Career Development
Mission
The mission of the Career Development Center is to further Lyon College’s goal of providing a liberal arts education that develops the whole person. Staff members provide students with guidance and opportunities tailored to meet their individual career development needs. By exploring personal traits and values, cultivating abilities and skills and acquiring career-related information and experience, students attain increased competence and confidence in their ability to create career paths leading to personal fulfillment, success, significance, and service.
The Career Development Center provides a supportive environment for students to explore and plan their career path, offering guidance and opportunities tailored to meet their individual career development needs. The Center’s open door policy encourages students to build relationships with Career Center staff and feel comfortable seeking assistance.
The Career Development Center offers many resources, including a library of career exploration tools, professional and graduate school information, as well as workshops, career events and personalized assistance with internships, resume building, interview skills and more.
The Career Center also coordinates the Lyon Legacy co-curricular transcript program. Through this document, students are encouraged to record their involvement in experiential learning activities both on and off campus and reflect on the transferable skills and insights that they have gained as a result. The Lyon Legacy transcript complements the academic transcript and provides a comprehensive picture of the learning inherent in the Lyon experience.
