For guidance and advice, also consider taking advantage of two services offered to all alumni by MIT.

1. Talk to a fellow alum

The Institute Career Assistance Network (ICAN) is a network of 4,000 alumni volunteers who are willing to have conversations about careers with fellow alumni and/or current students.  Advisors are willing to conduct informational interviews and provide quality advice, share their expertise and work experiences, and answer career related questions. Learn more about ICAN.

Take advantage of the MIT Alumni Advisors Hub to offer or receive advice. As a student at MIT, did you ever feel unsure about what career path you could take after MIT? As an alum have you thought about making a move professionally? Did you wish there were more people in your life to talk to that would understand the decisions you needed to make? We’ve all been there. Now you can help. The Advisors Hub is the place for alumni to give the advice they wish they had. Visit the MIT Alumni Advisors Hub.

2. Get career guidance with a global perspective

The MIT Global Education and Career Development office (GECD) seeks to empower MIT students and alumni to achieve lifelong success through seamless access to transformative global experiences, comprehensive and holistic career services, and mutually beneficial connections with employers and with graduate and professional schools. See a list of GECD services for alumni and post-docs.
