El nuevo programa de prácticas externas ofrece perspectivas profesionales

Enero de 2022
En otoño de 2021, STA introdujo el programa STA Professional Pathways, unas prácticas externas que permiten a los estudiantes experimentar un entorno empresarial real entre los semestres de otoño y primavera.
To qualify for the program, students must attend a two-hour training class focused on professional behavior, program expectations and partner organization background. The student then attends a one-hour meeting with the partner organization liaison.
During “engagement day” — a full day at the partner’s physical site — the student meets with each department in the partner organization to learn more about the areas of responsibility and range of career opportunities.
In the spring, students complete a four-hour professional contact project and service activity. At the program’s completion, the student provides input on the program, which is then shared with the business partner.
Inaugural Pathways partners include: Burns and McDonnell (engineering); JE Dunn (construction management); Gould Evans (architecture); KCUR (news radio/broadcasting); UMKC Innovation Center (aviation, AI/virtual reality); VMLY&R (marketing); United WE/Women’s Empowerment (policy and research)
