AI for Career Preparation

AI can be a career development tool rather than a replacement for students in career exploration and post-graduation planning.  The Levett Career Center encourages students to consider AI and technology literacy as a career competency by brainstorming career options, researching post-secondary paths, and translating skills and experiences into possible professions.  Our team is here to support students as they develop application materials that accurately and honestly represent their skills and experiences.

• • • OpenAI Academy - helping students learn ChatGPT to learn course material, improve academic work, plan projects and exams, and apply AI beyond the classroom for skills, career prep, and real-world opportunities
    • Yoodli (AI Roleplay Platform for Communication Coaching)
