The Career Development program focuses on preparing the student-athlete population to be career ready. The program is based on a three-part process that consists of career exploration, career development and career placement. Some of the tools used to accomplish this include:

• Student-Athlete Career Mixer: on-campus networking and job-search event for student-athletes
   
• Company Contacts: coordinate information sessions and act as liaison to schedule interviews with companies in and out of the Smith Center
   
• KIN 171: freshman transition and major/career exploration course 
   
• MSU Career Services Network (CSN) Partnership: close working relationship with the CSN to promote their events as well as use them as a resource to grow our programming and company contacts.
   
• Student-Athlete Development Workshops: provide programming to help with each step of the career development process.
   
• Financial Literacy:  workshops and programing to help student-athletes be fiscally responsible during and after their careers at MSU
