On preparing for the next step

The Office of Career Services has been a highlight of my time at Fletcher. The Professional Development Program has been especially enriching. Coming from another country with a different professional culture it has been a great way to build new skills to improve my professional competitiveness. I love how the career services coaches are more than willing to find time to meet individually with me. They have helped correct my resume, identify my professional profile, build a career plan, and to gain confidence that I can achieve my career goals. It is definitely one of the most valuable parts of a Fletcher education.

The experience at Fletcher has given me a broader view of the world. I feel grateful for the depth the curriculum for the amount of theoretical and practical knowledge I have gained in such a short time. Living and studying in such a diverse community has been an incredible experience, giving me the ability to be more empathetic when faced with other beliefs and cultures, and take more pride in my personal background and goals for society.
