The Scarlet Hawk in you is built to win — on the field and in your career.
A career lasts far longer than four years of competition. The discipline, teamwork, and resilience you build as a Scarlet Hawk are exactly what employers are looking for — and Career Services helps you turn them into your next opportunity.
Your Edge
Why Athletes Win at Work
Balancing rigorous coursework with practice, travel, and competition is a professional skill set in disguise. Employers consistently rank these strengths among the most sought-after — and you’ve been training them for years.
Time management — juggling a demanding schedule and delivering anyway.
Teamwork — performing with, and for, a group toward a shared goal.
Leadership — captaining, motivating, and holding standards.
Resilience & grit — bouncing back from a loss and competing again.
Coachability — taking feedback and turning it into improvement.
Performance under pressure — delivering when it counts most.
“A college career would only last four years, and a career would last much longer. It’s important to go somewhere that’ll set you up to be successful after graduation — and Illinois Tech will do just that.”

Put It on Your Resume
List your sport as an activity or under leadership. Quantify it — hours per week, seasons, captain or committee roles, championships — and translate each experience into a workplace skill. A Career Coach can help you frame it for the exact roles you want.
