Individual Career Consultations

Individual career services are available on a limited basis for benefits-eligible employees who are planning to develop in their careers at MIT.

  • Assessing skills, interests, and values
  • Exploring new roles and careers at MIT
  • Researching possibilities at MIT through informational interviewing
  • Creating a development plan for your current position
  • Preparing for a development discussion with your manager
  • Building a professional network
  • Discussing options for continuing education
  • Developing strategies to manage common career stage transitions at early career, mid-career, or late career/retirement
