Online training
Technology is changing our world. It has broken down barriers and unleashed opportunities like never before. It has also transformed our economy, redefining the skills needed to succeed. Digital literacy skills can help you bridge the digital skills gap – the divide between the digital skills needed for a job and the skills employees possess.
In partnership with Grovo, Capital One has developed a free and open digital literacy course that gives everyone access to the digital skills needed for today's middle-skill roles – jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree, but pay above the national living wage.

Gain experience
Through community service: Some students may need to enhance their marketability by developing skills and experience through community service. Binghamton’s Center for Civic Engagement’s Service Opportunity Database showcases available opportunities in our local area and the diversity of organizations that offer them. Students are encouraged to gain experience for part-time jobs through service.
Through research opportunities: Unpaid research opportunities are wonderful ways to gain experience and skills to prepare to apply to funded roles in the future. Students can visit the Undergraduate Research Center’s CROP database to find research opportunities at Binghamton.
Through student organizations: Student organizations have many opportunities to develop the skills employers are looking for in their next employee. Students can explore Binghamton University student organizations on B-Engaged: Organizations to find out what organizations they may wish to join.
