This is a cohort-based career exploration program that provides staff with mentoring, coaching, networking and job shadowing opportunities over a span of four to six months.
DevelopMe 2.0 allows staff to connect with other participants in their cohort and meet with two Purdue employee mentors of their choice.
Before selecting their mentors, members of the cohort complete a 30-question career initiative assessment, which introduces them to behaviors that increase job satisfaction and enhance future career possibilities. Participants then build a career plan by identifying their work and project preferences, creating short-term and long-term goals, assessing their work-life values and skill sets and seeking out relevant career options within the university.
This program is designed to empower employees to strengthen their internal opportunities at Purdue. Through four interactive sessions, participants will develop a personal brand, enhance their resume and cover letter, and refine their interview skills. This program aligns with Purdue’s commitment to helping employees unlock their unlimited potential while fostering collaboration and pride in being part of the university.
Each session explores key topics such as Purdue’s hiring process, LinkedIn best practices, resume and cover letter myths, and more. By building a strong personal brand and leveraging internal resources, participants will take meaningful steps towards advancing their careers within Purdue.
