Career Development with Tiarney

Transcript

ow the main objective of college is to help students prepare for the real world and Fort Lewis does an incredible job of doing just that. Here’s Tiarney Andreas, a senior psychology and sociology double major with a minor in teaching English as a second language. And she’s here to talk about career preparation. Tiarney, you’re on.

– Thanks, Alex. Hi everyone, my name is Tiarney Andreas and I am Bishop Paiute from Bishop, California, from where the water flows. Here at Fort Lewis College, we hope that the knowledge we give you as a Skyhawk will carry you into your future career after leaving the nest.

FLC has a great career services office that helps our students and alumni find the skills they need to succeed in their future careers. Career services provides assistance in resume and cover letter creation as well as career finding, such as choosing a major or finding what graduate school will suit you best in the future. Not only that, but career services provides us, students and alumni, with interview tips as well as job and internship searches that are catered specifically to you.

Nearly all of the professors I have had have incorporated in one way or another real-world examples as well as hands-on learning experiences that I can use in my future career. I was even able to take a psychology class working with kids and doing prevention programming. This allowed me to work with the kids in their own space where they were comfortable while I was also learning how to do successful youth prevention programming. Fort Lewis College offers internships all over campus, as well as within the Durango community.

FLC has prepared me for a career in so many different ways and I am so, so thankful and grateful to such an amazing institution as well as such a supportive Skyhawk family. Everywhere I go, FLC staff and faculty stress the importance of creating a community to support you through your college and career journey. And I truly hope that you decide to join our nest. Back to you, Alex

– Tiarney, great job. There is nothing more important than being ready to succeed in the outside world. And it’s great to see how Fort Lewis has helped you on your path forward in life. Thanks for sharing. Bye, Tiarney.
