Passport Program
Students are guided through a structured, four-year
career development program that includes two required
internships. Students receive support from a full-time staff,
the Butler alumni network, and a personal career mentor.
Career mentors guide the process throughout the four years,
meeting individually with students to help clarify business
interests, choose a major, job shadow and more.
Students receive stamps on a passport
as they progress through the career development program, which
includes a variety of activities and requirements such as job
fairs, alumni panels, mock interviews, resume writing workshops and
more. A full-time staff assists the students in locating the
required internships which often result in full-time employment
upon graduation.
In the freshman year, students focus on self-discovery.
They learn more about themselves through assessments such as the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. They begin working with their personal
career mentor, who works with the student throughout the four years
at Butler.
In the sophomore year, students focus on career exploration and
participate in a variety of activities such as networking workshops
and job shadows. Internships and job search skills are the
focus of the student's junior year. Juniors also participate
in the L. Ben Lytle Junior Forum in which
Mr. Lytle networks with students and provides personal career
advice.
In the senior year, students build on their junior-year work
experience in order to finalize their job searches.
