Why Network? What is Networking?
The goal of networking, from a job search perspective, is to acquire knowledge about career fields of interest and build genuine relationships with professionals and experts to increase your knowledge and the likelihood of securing an opportunity for which you are well suited.
Union Career Advisory Network (UCAN)
UCAN is a searchable database of approximately of 13,000 Alumni and Friends of the College who have offered to share information and advice relative to their career and/or graduate school interests. The UCAN database is exclusive to Union College students and alumni.
To gain access all students will need to attend a UCAN Orientation - check Handshake for scheduled UCAN Orientations.
Please note: if none of the scheduled times work for you – pull together a group of 5 or more students and we’ll run it during a day and time of your choosing. If you have any additional questions, please contact Pete Fowler.
