Wayne State University
Hit the ground career ready
Thanks to career learning opportunities like internships, job shadowing, clinical experiences, service learning and hands-on research, Wayne State students begin preparing for “what’s next” long before they graduate. These "learning by doing" opportunities help deepen a student's educational experience through application in real-world contexts, instilling marketable skills like critical thinking, leadership and communication that build a strong foundation for long-term career success. That’s one more reason Wayne State graduates are in high demand in the marketplace. Below are just a few recent Warrior grads who sat down with us to tell their story.

This evening I walk the stage in honor of my accomplishment. I have persevered and cried all the way to the end. I have been through every challenge you can think of but never lost sight of my goal. Thank you to the village, the FAMILY I’ve gained along the way.
I’ll make an official post later but I’m truly grateful for my testimony today.
