Bowdoin's Career Exploration & Development (CXD) has re-launched its Accelerator Plus program, adding options for seniors that the office first rolled out in the pandemic.
Alumni, families, and friends are invited to support the Accelerator Plus program, which has four main offerings:
Mini-Grants for up to $2,000
Students can apply for a mini-grant to pursue a certification or project that will strengthen their resume. For example, they can get licensed as an EMT, phlebotomist, or scientific diver, or seek funding to attend a conference, build a portfolio of written work or visual art, create an app or website, build a coding project, volunteer at a hospital, or contribute to a citizen science initiative.
Free Coursera license
Coursera, an online learning platform, is stocked with nearly 10,000 courses, specializations, and certificates, with instructors from Google to the Berklee School of Music.
Free access to RocketBlocks
RocketBlocks prepares students for case interviews for jobs in management consulting, product management, product marketing, and strategy and business operations.
Free access to Wall Street Prep
Wall Street Prep offers training for finance interviews.
