SUNY Korea students came together in B105 on November 26, 2025, for Smart Career Building with AI, a hands-on career readiness workshop hosted by the Career Development Center in partnership with the TSM faculty. Led by Professor Joseph S. Cabuay, the session offered students a practical look at how AI can support their professional journeys, while reminding them that technology works best when guided by thoughtful and responsible humans.
Throughout the workshop, students explored the growing influence of AI across industries and discussed how to use these tools wisely rather than relying on them blindly. Professor Cabuay walked participants through ways AI can assist with personal branding, resume building, application strategies, and job-market research, all while emphasizing authenticity and ethical decision-making.
The session blended big-picture career advice with practical exercises. Students learned prompting techniques, communication tips, and strategies for planning their global careers. Professor Cabuay introduced several high-impact AI certifications that students can complete quickly to strengthen their professional profiles.
Smart Career Building with AI ultimately reflected SUNY Korea’s commitment to equipping students for success in a fast-changing job market. By combining technology, ethics, and self-leadership, the workshop encouraged students to use AI as a supportive tool while relying on their own judgment, creativity, and effort to shape their futures.
