Everything about your Dyson academic experience is geared toward helping you make an impact, from your first job through your entire career.
Dyson students are recruited by top employers in the private sector for careers in banking and finance, marketing, management, consulting, accounting, auditing, retailing, sales, and operations, as well as for positions in the public and nonprofit sectors. You’ll have opportunities to interview with global industry leaders, startups, non-profits, and government organizations through on-campus recruiting and a diversity of other networking avenues, from career treks to conferences to spontaneous meet-and-greet sessions in our new, state-of-the-art Collaboration Zone.
Earning an Applied Economics and Management (AEM) degree from Cornell is more than an elite education in economics—it’s your ticket to a better career. See how our AEM graduates are prepared to take on new roles.
You will want to become familiar with the outstanding services provided by the Dyson career management team—even in your freshman year. It is never too early to begin exploring career and internship opportunities by attending our career fairs, company information sessions, and workshops, and using the career libraries and databases.
At Dyson, career discovery and preparation are woven into your academic experience. In your freshman year, you will be required to reach out to mentors for career exploration, write your resume and cover letter, and start building your personal brand during your first-year seminar course. Engaged-learning courses and exchange programs challenge you to think broadly about your career options. And class speakers give you exposure to specific industries and career paths, including the day-to-day responsibilities of a given position.
Located in Warren Hall, the career center is also committed to helping you develop the professional skills needed to succeed in the workplace. You can meet with career coaches to explore career options based on your interests and abilities, leading to the creation of a focused career search plan. They will also help you write great resumes, show you how to build your professional network, practice your interviewing skills, and research employers and organizations.
Dyson alumni provide unparalleled support for students’ professional development and employment. The Dyson Undergraduate Program Advisory Council includes members who care deeply about enhancing the employment success of Dyson majors. The group hosts an annual Sophomore Networking Dinner early in the fall semester to meet individual students. Every week, alumni come to campus to engage in classroom learning opportunities and frequently meet with students to discuss career opportunities via virtual and in-person coffee chats. Hundreds of alumni have signed up to connect with you for career conversations, mock interviews, and resume critiques via our online CALS Alumni Advisor Network and CUeLinks.
Dyson School alumni who have graduated within the past five years can continue to use the services provided by the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business Undergraduate and Master’s Programs Career Management Center.
