One of the Brantley Center’s primary goals is to help students with career planning and placement.

For students seeking assistance with the job search, resumé and cover letter writing, or interviewing, please contact Greg Langdon in the Brantley Center to make an appointment.

Students

For students in the process of seeking a position, emails are sent out on a regular basis, and copies of the position descriptions are posted on the bulletin board in the hallway by the Brantley Center.

There are many career options for students who are preparing to graduate with a degree in Risk Management and Insurance. Some potential careers in the field are: agents, brokers, claims adjusters, financial planners, loss control, actuaries, risk managers and underwriters.

Visit the Walker College of Business Career Services page: http://careerservices.business.appstate.edu/ for detailed career planning information.

Employers

For employers, there are several options for listing job and internship opportunities. If you would like to target our current students, please contact us with detailed position information. We manage a listserv of current students and can send job/internship opportunities via email.

Alumni

If you are seeking alumni with some professional experience for your job opening, you can sign up for the Career Gear (www.careergear.appstate.edu) service through our Career Development Center. Both current students and alumni are able to view job postings through this system. To set up a Career Gear account to add postings, contact the Career Development Center at 828-262-2180

Internships

Students are encouraged to take advantage of internship opportunities after their junior year. Internships are typically in the summer and last at least 10 weeks. Internships should be designed to expose the student to various aspects of the employer's operations. The employer gets help with special needs or projects, as well as the opportunity to take a risk-free look at a potential future employee. The student gains valuable work experience which enhances classroom participation upon return to campus. Please contact Greg Langdon (langdongm@appstate.edu) in the Brantley Center if your company has internship opportunities.

Students, for additional information please contact the Brantley Center (brantleycenter@appstate.edu) or the Career Development Center.
