Florida Southern College officially opened the brand-new space for the Peter C. Golotko ’90 MBA ’96, Office of Career Services in Lakeland with a ceremony and reception on the first floor of the Carlisle Rodgers Building.
Career Services recently took residence again in its newly renovated location, which includes several dedicated spaces for students to strengthen their job and internship applications. Dedicated interview suites allow for interview preparation with staff members via state-of-the-art virtual technology, ensuring students can practice their interview skills and learn how to best respond to specific questions. Employers will have access to the spaces to host on-site interviews, ensuring unparalleled access to emerging talent. Additionally, an expanded resume writing and analyzing program joins a dedicated space for professional headshots and a clothes closet so that students can put their best look forward.
Florida Southern’s Career Services program provides a wide array of services to students and alumni. Subject matter experts are available to help choose the right path for each individual. Mentoring begins during students’ freshman year, allowing for a robust professional development curriculum. Specific areas addressed include networking opportunities, professional development guides, career coaching, and professional examination prep classes.
The newly redesigned space was made possible by a signature donation from FSC alumnus Peter C. Golotko ’90 MBA ’96, Partner, President, and Chief Executive Officer of CPS Investment Advisors in Lakeland. Other generous corporate donors for the project included Northwestern Mutual, AgAmerica, and the Rogers Family Foundation.
Under the direction of Executive Director Dr. Lauren Albaum, The Princeton Review’s 2023 edition of its “Best Colleges” guide showcases FSC’s Career Services Department, ranking it No. 24 in the entire nation.
“Our holistic approach to career development, starting from acceptance to Florida Southern College, ensures each student has individualized support to help them explore careers, build competencies, and ultimately secure a meaningful career aligned with their professional aspirations,” explained Dr. Albaum.
