Arch Ready Professionalism Certificate
This certificate is a series of programs offered by the UGA Career Center to provide all UGA students with career development and job search training.
This program is not for academic credit - the goal is to enhance your degree through professional development. We cover topics and questions that many students have about their careers, such as finding an internship, writing a resume and cover letter, and much more!
Completing the Arch Ready program would be a great way for you, as an Intended-Grady student, to get a jump-start on preparing for your career and will help set you apart from your peers.
Keep this in mind over the summer, and look out for more info on campus and in your email as Arch Ready programs start up again in the fall! Check out some more info on the program here.
Meet with Samantha
To schedule an appointment, call (706) 542-3375. Samantha covers Career Center walk-in hours on Mondays, from 12-2 p.m. in Clark Howell Hall. You can also stop by drop-in hours every Tuesday and Wednesday in Journalism, room 309-D from 1-3 p.m.
Receive assistance with resumes, statements of interest, cover letters, job search strategies, interviewing, applying to graduate school and any other career-related topics. Printed copies of materials are preferred.
