Scarlet Careers Leadership Collective
Scarlet Careers Leadership Collective
Connect your student organization with career programming, employer partners, and opportunities that help your members grow.
Lead Your Organization. Expand Your Connections.
Student organizations are essential campus partners in career readiness. Through the Scarlet Careers Leadership Collective, CES helps career-focused organizations connect members’ leadership, teamwork, programs, and projects to the NACE Career Readiness Competencies—and explain that growth to employers. Members also gain access to employer connections, funding opportunities, and career programming through one annual registration.
Member Benefits
Bring more career connections and resources to your organization. Collective membership opens the door to these opportunities.
Organization Sponsorship Fund
Apply for the Student Organization Sponsorship Fund, available exclusively to Collective members to support career-focused programs. Awards follow fund criteria and availability.
Direct Employer Connections
Work with CES to explore employer involvement in your organization’s programs, from career panels and industry conversations to networking opportunities.
Request a Program for Your Organization
Bring a CES-led workshop to your members on resumes, networking, interviewing, personal branding, or NACE Career Readiness Competencies. Programs can be tailored to your organization’s goals. Collective members receive priority consideration for program requests.
Build the NACE Career Readiness Competencies
Running a meeting, planning an event, managing a budget, or welcoming new members builds skills students can use beyond Rutgers. As CES campus partners, Collective organizations help members name the NACE Career Readiness Competencies they practice, reflect on a specific example, and explain their impact in resumes and interviews. Each tile opens NACE’s individual competency guide (PDF). NACE currently lists Equity + Inclusion as under review.
Connect with Career-Focused Student Leaders
Employer partners can work with CES to connect with student organizations whose interests align with their industries and professional communities. Explore participation in student-led panels, workshops, and networking programs, or discuss how your employee resource groups can engage with Rutgers students.
Membership at a Glance
Built for student organizations that put career exploration and professional development at the center of their work.
-
The Collective is for Rutgers–New Brunswick student organizations with a career or professional development focus. One organization leader—such as a president, vice president, or another officer—registers on behalf of the organization. Individual members do not need to register separately.
-
There are no required meetings, service hours, or ongoing time commitments. Choose the opportunities that fit your members’ goals and your organization’s calendar. Membership is renewed each year. Keep your student leader and organization advisor contact information current so CES can stay connected as officers change.
-
Members receive priority consideration for CES program requests, including career workshops tailored to their organization’s goals. Meet the ERGs programming offers opportunities to connect with employee resource groups and learn about workplace communities and career paths. Program scheduling and employer participation depend on availability.
