Becoming a USC Marshall graduate is just the beginning of a lifelong connection to a powerful global network. The USC Marshall and Leventhal alumni network, over 89,000 strong, represents one of the world’s most influential business communities. As a graduate, you automatically gain access to the extensive USC Alumni Association, becoming part of the Trojan Family – a unique support system built on shared values and ambitions. This network is more than just an idea; it’s a real, global community committed to helping its members succeed.
One of the most impactful ways USC Marshall alumni engage with current students is through the Usc Career Advantage Program (CAP). This exceptional mentorship program connects undergraduate Marshall students with experienced alumni and friends of the university, providing invaluable guidance for navigating their career paths.
What is the USC Career Advantage Program?
The Career Advantage Program (CAP) is designed to equip sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduate students with the essential professional, interpersonal, and networking skills needed to thrive in their careers. CAP achieves this by pairing students with Marshall alumni and university supporters who serve as mentors. These mentors share their industry expertise, career insights, and practical advice, helping students bridge the gap between academic studies and professional success. Each mentor typically works with a small group of two to three students, fostering a close-knit and supportive environment conducive to growth and development.
Benefits of Participating in CAP
For students, the USC Career Advantage Program offers numerous benefits:
- Personalized Mentorship: Gain one-on-one guidance from experienced professionals in your field of interest.
- Skill Development: Enhance crucial professional and interpersonal skills sought after by employers.
- Networking Opportunities: Expand your professional network by connecting with alumni and peers.
- Career Clarity: Explore career options, refine your goals, and gain confidence in your chosen path.
- Real-world Insights: Learn firsthand about industry trends, workplace dynamics, and career advancement strategies.
The program also provides significant rewards for alumni who participate as mentors. Mentoring is a fulfilling way to give back to the USC Marshall community, shape the next generation of business leaders, and strengthen your own professional network. By sharing your experience and expertise, you play a vital role in the career development of promising students while staying connected to the vibrant USC Marshall environment.
