I am pleased to announce the launch of Global Education & Career Development’s new website, designed with a fresh new look, a user-friendly approach and updated content about career, internship/job search, global education, and graduate school opportunities and solutions.

New Structure and Content
The primary objective for the new GECD website is to provide effective tools for enhanced planning and decision-making to help students realize their goals. Listed below are some highlights.

*Solutions *
Each section of the website is designed to provide users with easy access to solutions for choosing a career; finding a job or internship; applying to graduate or professional school; or identifying MIT options for going abroad. A section dedicated to employers provides advice and resources to effectively recruit MIT students and alumni.

*Services *
Our “Services” page provides comprehensive information on GECD’s service offerings and allows on-demand access to related resources, including career videos, audio workshops and tip guides.

*User-Friendly Design *
Through survey and focus group feedback, GECD's website was designed to be user-friendly and simple to navigate. The new website allows users to quickly find content and information easily.

*Online Resources and Social Media *
Users can access a wide array of interactive tools and resources to manage their own planning, including online career guidance, internship and job posting systems, career videos and workshops, and virtual graduate school fairs. Follow us or link content with major social media platforms.

Please feel free to check out the new website and we hope you enjoy our site. http://gecd.mit.edu.

*About GECD *
GECD offers expert advice, data, tools, and connections to support decisions about global experiences, graduate school, and careers to empower students to achieve lifelong success. GECD is organized into three teams – Career Services, Global Education and Prehealth Advising. GECD partners with MIT Faculty and others for initiatives related to these areas.
