 If
you are assisting students who are beginning to consider career options,
we hope you'll recommend the Sloan Career Cornerstone Center. This site
has been developed to help individuals explore the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, computing, and healthcare.
We have included
many resources,
and an extensive interview database of professionals working in these areas.
If you are working with precollege students, there are
many recommendations for courses, activities,
and projects that may help students move closer to finding out which
career path may be best for them.
 Career planning is, of course, an ongoing process. It may
involve networking, exploring
resources, and possibly having a
mentor in the field. Involvement in
professional associations can also be a great
help, as can gaining experience through internships
or coops. This site also provides additional support on
diversity, salary
information, job hunting suggestions, and
profiles of what a typical day in a field might
be like.
You can also explore the different
types of academic degrees that are
available in the United States, including the new
Professional Science Master's degree.
There is even a new section that explores online
education options.
We also offer some suggestions for
lesson plan
resources for STEM classrooms. If you would like to suggest additional resources you'd
like to see on this site, please let us know.
