Whether you are a freshman or are just 30 credits shy of your degree, the last thing you may want to think aboutrightnow is what your life will be like after you graduate. But you should. The fact is that employers want to hire college graduates who are work-ready - who have some experience. "Having relevant experience can make a big dif ference in determining your job prospects and career satisfaction," says Carla Rinde, Director of Career Services at Ursinus. "That's why the Career Ser vices Office is offering Career Planit, a new web site geared to the career planning and development needs of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors." An interactive site featuring practical tools and challenging games as well as information about employers seeking interns.

Career Planit addresses that by providing profiles of employers who offer internships. "This site is a wonderful complement to the internship information already available in the Career Services Office", says Sarah Heiffer'ichPool Hours David, Internship Coordinator.
