Career Communities provide a powerful professional network for all Southwestern community members to connect around shared career interests, explore diverse career options, and leverage the knowledge and expertise of others.
What is the Career Communities Model?
The Career Communities model provides a framework for career exploration, gaining experience, and engaging in the career search process. Career interests can develop from your field of study, but they might come from other sources: hobbies and activities; volunteer, work and leadership experiences; influential people in your life; and even dreams! Instead of identifying solely with majors, students can explore options and build connections within Communities. The Career Communities model provides the framework around which we organize our special events and create relationships among students, alumni, families, faculty/staff, and employers to source opportunities for you.
PirateConnect is the virtual home of our Career Communities. It features a discussion board for each Community full of targeted opportunities and advice, and you can explore your Communities for networking contacts ready to share advice and leads.
