-: Academically is look for courses that are of interest
where you could see yourself going.
I know the U of M has a HVAC class,
so if you are interested in the building world,
having that class is a good foundation.
In addition, there's a project management course
that the U offers which is another opportunity
to really gain the skills that you would need here
in this industry, but more importantly it's internships
because that is so, just, required, essentially
for working in this field and other fields
just because then you can really see like,
what your day would really look like
and what others who you strive to be,
what their day looks like, as well.
Looking at your network, so professors,
if they can recommend a certain organization
or a certain company, that would be great
'cause then you could have an advocate for you.
I know my senior mechanical design,
there was companies there, and so there was
another opportunity where you can network with them
and see if there's opportunities there.
So even during school, there's companies that come in.
And then as well as attending career fairs like this
is another significant way that you can get
that foot in the door.
And then also giving back, so there's a ton
of great organizations where I helped high school students
study for SATs or other opportunities where I helped
junior highers build robots.
So any of those organizations or those types
of activities are really fantastic
to build not only your resume but also
an other opportunity to give back to.
