Keuka College prides itself on graduating students who are highly sought-after by employers.
Take newly minted graduate David Luke. He didn’t have to wait until graduation to land a job – he secured one before Commencement.
“Knowing I already have a job makes me feel a lot better because I am moving to a new city and able to hit the ground running,” said David, who landed a trainee position in financial advising and life insurance sales at the Pittsburgh, Pa., branch of Northwestern Mutual, a national financial services company. “I’m studying for my Life, Accident, and Health (LAH) licenses, which will allow me to sell life insurance and health insurance.”
Just weeks after his May 18 graduation from the College, David will begin assisting clients with their life insurance needs. A marketing major and Rochester resident, David said Keuka College instilled the confidence he needs to succeed by supporting him as he hit the books – and the links.
“My marketing courses taught me the fundamentals of selling products and services,” he said. “And my participation on the Men’s Golf team sharpened my communication and teamwork abilities.”
Engaged professors who provided mentorship and “transformative” Field Period® opportunities further positioned David to seamlessly enter the working world.
“To anyone considering Keuka College, I offer this advice: If you’re looking for a supportive environment where your professors know you by name and offer personalized assistance, then Keuka College is the ideal choice.”
