We warmly welcome you back to campus after your summer break and wish you a successful start to the 2025/26 academic year. To support you in your career journey this year, we are pleased to invite you to Overseas Employment Mentoring Sessions, a two-part virtual event co-hosted by SUNY Korea CDC and KOTRA Dallas Trade Office. These sessions are designed for students and job seekers exploring career opportunities in the United States, with a focus on employment pathways, visa systems, and practical career strategies.
* Please note: As the sessions will be led by KOTRA (a Korean government-affiliated organization), the main language will be Korean, and much of the content will be most relevant to Korean nationals. Non-Korean students are warmly welcome to attend and may still find value in learning about the U.S. job market and employment systems. For additional career resources in English, CDC is happy to provide tailored support upon request.
Session Schedule

Session 2: U.S. Employment Trends and Resume Strategies
