“The Aspire Center has helped me look for internships and job opportunities while making sure I am prepared for them at the same time. I really recommend using The Aspire Center often and early in your time at Carthage.”
“The Aspire Center helped me get my first real job as a paid intern for the City of Racine as a digital navigator. They helped me list my skills, write out my goals for the future, prepare for the career fair, and send thank-you notes to the businesses who contacted me.”
“The Aspire Center helped me build a resume when applying for internships. I made an appointment, and we reviewed my resume, editing and adding things to make it great. I liked having this resource to use because it made me more confident when submitting my resume.”
“The Aspire Center has helped me create and refine my resume and CV. I then used that resume to get a good part-time job off campus.”
About The Aspire Program
At Carthage, all first-year students begin career development planning from their first days on campus. Through The Aspire Program, they develop a dynamic approach to goal-setting and life skill-building. Students will own their ability to be lifelong learners and impactful contributors in the world, and to recover when plans don’t go as expected. Launched in 2019, The Aspire Program builds on Carthage’s strong history of providing students with the skills they need to succeed.
