The Berklee Career Center’s mission is to inspire students to think broadly about their career aspirations, educate students about the far-reaching value of their skills, connect students to influencers and employers in creative industries, create personal and professional opportunities for meaningful goal planning, and motivate students to take an active, purposeful role in shaping their careers.
Berklee Career Center
CREATING PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS
Over the last year, the Career Center has undergone a transformation informed by nationwide best practices in career education. The reimagined center has streamlined the programs offered by three previously separate offices, with the goal of providing a more holistic and student-centric model for career preparation. Students are encouraged to use their time at Berklee to develop skills, gain knowledge, and forge the connections that will ultimately shape their careers.
CAREER COMMUNITIES The Career Center is organized by seven communities or areas of interest: business, composition, design, education, health and wellness, performance, and production. Launched in 2017, this model enables College and Conservatory students to better align their academic interests with various career paths, and better engages students across degree programs by providing deeper expertise from both career and academic advisors. This model has already strengthened connections across the larger Berklee community.
ADVISING The Career Center guides and assists students in their career planning process through one-on-one meetings that cover topics such as: job and internship search strategies; personal goal development, self-assessment, and entrepreneurial business planning.
BERKLEE CAREER MANAGER The Berklee Career Manager is a robust online platform that enables students to search for internships, paid performance gigs, jobs, industry-related and career events, auditions, and other career-related resources. Students and alumni can also use the Career Manager to schedule appointments with career advisors to further discuss options and opportunities.
