Career Consultation is a highly personalized service for students to reflect on their experiences and interests, explore opportunities, and to make the most informed career decisions at that point in time.

We’ll be the first to say that your interests will grow and change over time, much like yourself. While we understand that they will change, through a series of deep self-reflection and open exploration, you may begin identifying themes in your experiences that resonate with you. Drawing out these themes and understanding them will be foundational to paving what’s next on your journey.

Our Skills Development Programs strive to provide you with necessary employability skills, from foundational skills like Resumes/ Cover Letters Writing, Interview Skills and Tips, and Legal Aspects of Work.

Furthermore, we also engage with Industry partners to keep up to date with market trends and changes to equip you with the necessary skills to navigate the market.

Career Day is an annual signature event hosted by Career Services to bring employer partners closer to Fulbright students on campus as well as to get partners to understand more about Fulbright students and their real-life impactful projects.

Career Day consists of the following activities:

• Student Project Showcase
• Career Fair
• On-the-spot Interview

To help students better connect with the world of work, Career Services collaborates closely with employer partners. Through industry talks, events, and company tours, we want students not just to meet employers, but to see how their learning can translate into real-world impact.

Industry Talks and Events
With 11 majors across 3 clusters, we work with a wide range of companies and sectors. These events give students the chance to network, gain market insights, and see what different career paths look like. From data analysis training to a session on crisis communication, students gain practical knowledge that complements what they learn in class.

Company Tours
The best way to understand a workplace is to experience it directly. Recent tours gave students the chance to step inside, meet professionals, and get a feel for different company cultures.

Fulbright’s commitment to active and whole person learning, and employability of our graduates requires that all students engage with an experiential learning opportunity (referenced as “experience” from here on) at some point during their undergraduate careers.

Broadly, “experiences” are defined as learning that occurs embedded in the actual context (and under the supervision) of an expert or practitioner, and not in a classroom environment.

Specifically, “experiences” are defined as internships, service learning, and/or independent research/production. The Experiential Learning Course, administered under the Experiential Learning Program, serves as a unifying community aspect, where students will critically reflect on and share their work. The Experiential Learning Course ensures that all Fulbright students are learning in fulfilling experiences.

• Career Services Weekly Newsletter: Weekly newsletters updating the most recent events, programs, internship opportunities in different industries.
• Career Development Resources on Canvas: An online resource center on career development available to all Fulbright students. You can find in the module’s topics on self-exploration and self-understanding, knowledge on the future of work, job application and interview preparation materials. Further visualized guides are also being developed to ensure they are accessible to students.

I am a prospective student. What career opportunities exist for me if I join Fulbright?

Our students come to Fulbright with a wide range of interests and passions. As a liberal arts, sciences and engineering university, we foster these diverse interests through our courses and advising. All students have opportunities for one-on-one advising and connections with industry leaders and mentors. We encourage students to pursue internships during the summers and where possible during the academic year; we’ll also pursue experiential learning opportunities in connection with certain courses.

Will Fulbright secure me a job?

At Fulbright, we view each student’s career path as a personal journey. Our role is to empower you with the skills, confidence, and networks needed to pursue opportunities that align with your aspirations.

The Career Services team will work with you over your four years to hone your career readiness skills. Through workshops, advising, career fairs, site visits, and mentoring relationships, we’ll equip you with the skills necessary to search and compete for jobs that fit your goals and interests.

Are there jobs available on campus?

All students can apply for suitable work study positions from many departments at Fulbright, as they come up via Jobs on OneStop.

• “90% of Fulbright students at the festival have seen the film and have questions and hypotheses that strike directly at the heart of the film. Their vision gained my respect. Sometimes during the talk, the students had me and Wowy Nguyễn on the edge of our seats, so much so that at the last minute, I was forced to say something I never disclosed about ‘Rom’ before, even during the PR trip for the movie! … I believe they will be the future of Vietnam.”
  Trần Thanh Huy, Director & Filmmaker
