Does your student have the Herkimer Edge?

Herkimer Edge is designed to support your student in reaching their career goals by preparing them with the tools and information necessary for them to succeed in the interview and beyond. Students will prepare for their future with professional development resources such as, resume building, learning how to complete online applications and practice interviewing.

Herkimer Edge stresses the college to career pipeline and serves as a platform for students to begin constructing their career path. It's important that students are active in their education and their career path, and starting as early as their first year can prove to be extremely beneficial in the long run. Many students arrive to college with no clear path to their future, and it is imperative that faculty are there to guide their students and provide them with the tools necessary for graduation. 

 Studies have shown that students who have enrolled in the General Studies major will often change their major, sometimes more than once, and are at a high risk for not completing their degrees. However, the career services office provides all students with the opportunity to take control of their future much earlier in their academic careers. Herkimer Edge is one of the many services that is available to students to help with the connection between their major and their ultimate career path. It is the goal of Herkimer College to support our students and their goals upon acceptance, and with quality platforms like Herkimer Edge, students will feel that support long after graduation.
