Career growth & success

Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship students graduate with career-empowering skills that employers want. Exposure to real businesses through internships and mentoring set students on a firm path to career success from day one.

An education led by experience

Learn how we put career growth and success first from Dr. Caterina Caiazza, assistant vice president for career and personal development.

How it works

We prepare students for careers through a series of individualized field experiences over the course of their education. Each internship, mentorship, or capstone project builds confidence, skills, and knowledge so students can enter the workforce ready for success from the day they graduate.
