| The Program
|
Converse CareerView began as an initiative of the Converse College Office of Career Services and the Rotary Club of Spartanburg. It is a job shadowing program designed to help students make those tough decisions about which major to pursue, what field of work they are interested in, and the specific job they want to hold after graduation. All Converse students and alumnae are eligible to participate in shadowing.

|
| Dates and Places
|
|
Converse CareerView is offered locally (in Spartanburg) and occurs throughout the year, peaking during the college breaks. Students may shadow anytime as long as it does not interfere with academics.

|
| What Exactly is Converse
CareerView?
|
|
During Converse CareerView, students “shadow” or follow an employer for a day or more at the employer’s place of business to gather information about the employer’s job, career field, and the kind of preparation necessary to enter the employer’s occupation. Students are matched with a sponsor whose occupation closely matches the students’ career interests. Employer participants are called “sponsors”. Sponsors are usually Converse Alumnae or friends of Converse College who are willing to donate their time to help Converse students.

| What is the Purpose of Converse
CareerView?
|
|
Students who shadow gain valuable insight into career options of interest, assisting them to make more knowledgeable choices about careers/occupations. Converse
CareerView is not an avenue for seeking employment. Students who shadow are not paid, and do not receive academic credit.
