Our Career Building Platform (CBP) takes business education beyond the classroom to give you the professional and personal skills you’ll need to succeed in today’s evolving global marketplace. Each platform—Professional Enrichment, Experiential Education, and Community Impact—is grounded in real-world management experiences. You’ll apply knowledge learned in actual business environments, build your professional network, and develop skills that top executives use every day.

The Career Building Platform is open to all NYIT School of Management students. Through our CBP, you will gain unique perspectives that go beyond traditional business education—and put lessons learned into practice.

Professional Enrichment

New York Tech’s Professional Enrichment Program is designed to make your transition from the classroom to the board room as seamless as possible. Through workshops and seminars, we help you build business skills every executive needs, such as:

• creating professional social media pages
• best practices in developing your professional network
• enhancing your personal brand with an online portfolio
• identifying and discussing emerging business trends with industry leaders
• writing and communicating with colleagues
• refining your interview skills and business etiquette

Experiential Education

Our Experiential Education Program adopts a “learning by doing” approach as you devise business solutions for real-world scenarios. These opportunities place you in the global marketplace as you strategize with classmates, faculty, and executives in applying classroom learning. Experiential opportunities include:

• competing in the Fed Challenge, where you’ll present a strategy affecting monetary policy, interest rates, and other economic matters to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
• offering small-group consulting to local businesses
• participating in International Workshop and study abroad programs in Germany, India, the Netherlands, France, and Singapore

Community Impact

Our Community Impact Platform is all about building communities one relationship at a time and giving back to the communities to which we belong. Students are given opportunities for community service, charitable acts, and volunteering. Along the way they will be meeting with leading business executives, building professional relationships and leadership skills, and getting a feel for how global companies and nonprofits operate. Examples include:

• gaining a mentor who can provide personalized guidance that matches your career goals
• joining on-campus business clubs and honor societies
• participating in the Student Advisory Board to help steer future academic programs within the NYIT School of Management
