Student Resources

As faculty in the Department of Management, we are excited to introduce you to one of our most valuable pages, your launchpad for internships, leadership development, and career success. Whether you’re a parent exploring how Virginia Tech prepares students for the real world, a prospective Hokie considering a Management degree, or a current student planning your next step, this page is built for you.

What You’ll Find Here

This page brings together the key resources that Management majors need to prepare for professional success.

Here’s how you can use it:

• Career Planning Tools: Find step-by-step guidance for résumés, cover letters, and interview preparation, which are all aligned with careers in management, human resources, consulting, and entrepreneurship.
• Internship & Job Links: Access platforms like Handshake and employer portals that feature business, leadership, and operations-focused roles.
• Professional Growth Resources: Explore tools like LinkedIn Learning and ONet* to identify the skills employers want in team leaders, project managers, and organizational strategists.
• Industry Insights: Learn how to research labor trends, job growth, and salary data specific to management and related business fields through trusted sources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
• Connection Points: Find contact information for faculty mentors and career advisors in Pamplin who specialize in guiding Management students toward purposeful careers.

How to Use This Page

For Families, Mentors, Advisor:

Encourage your Hokie to treat this page as a professional development compass. Review the résumé and internship resources together and talk about how leadership, communication, and problem-solving (all core management skills) show up in their coursework and experiences.

For Prospective Hokies:

This is what sets Virginia Tech Management apart. From day one, students have access to employer connections, résumé tools, and professional workshops that prepare them for internships in corporate leadership, consulting, human resources, and beyond. Imagine leaving Pamplin not only with a degree, but with real-world experience and a professional network already in motion.

For Current Students:

Start by exploring the Internship & Career Links section and updating your résumé using the templates provided. Then, attend a career fair, connect with your faculty career advisor, and use LinkedIn Learning to build skills that align with your dream role. The more you engage now, the stronger your post-graduation outcomes will be.
