Six weeks inside ASU 1101 that get you a résumé, a mentor, a real opportunity, and a certificate — while everyone else is still waiting to figure it out. Built with the Office of Career Services.
You'll need the join code from your class
A mindset to work through, a challenge with your team, and one mission you finish off the screen — on campus, in an inbox, in front of a person.
Your fear is not a weakness — it is a compass pointing to where you need to grow.
You do not have to figure this out alone. Your campus team is your superpower.
The worst they can say is no. The best? It could change your life.
You do not have to know exactly what you want to do. You just have to be curious enough to explore.
Your professional presence is not about being perfect. It is about being authentically you.
You have already taken the first step. The rest is just one step at a time.
Sessions happen live on campus. Teams get built face to face. Everything after that — the missions, the check-ins, your certificate — lives in your account.
Each session has its own join code, handed out in the room. It puts you with your class and your team — nobody lands in the wrong group.
Sessions, workshops, and deadlines worth putting in your calendar now.
Protecting yourself online, whatever you study. Taught by a cybersecurity practitioner.
What is actually changing about work, and how to position yourself for it.
Building an audience without money to spend.
Where biology and technology are converging, and the careers forming there.
Résumé review, interview practice, or just talking through what you actually want to do. Walk in, call, or email — they do this all day.
