Programs and Workshops – we offer a series of workshops, alumni brown bag discussions, and career panels to assist students in developing job search skills, preparing for interviews, and exploring career options in architecture, design and planning.
Spring Break Connections Externship Program – we are active in preparing students for the professional world by helping them gain experience. Each year we coordinate a one-week unpaid externship during spring break for students interested in learning more about their intended profession. Students are hosted by companies and organizations across the country.
Career & Networking Fair – the reputation of our programs attracts employers to visit Ann Arbor to meet our excellent students. Employers may attend the networking & career fair or schedule an individual visit to meet, interview and/or discuss career options with students from all degree programs.

We also host a Taubman College group on LinkedIn so alumni and students can network online.
