As a result of participating in a COMPASS workshop, we implemented an open education resource website to improve on the Chemistry Department's career mentoring of undergraduate students at New York City College of Technology (City Tech) of the City University of New York (CUNY). City Tech is primarily an undergraduate institution. The Chemistry Department offers an Associate in Science in Chemical Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Chemistry. These programs lead to entry careers in industry or provide foundations to admissions to professional and graduate schools. While there are some professional development resources at City Tech, none are oriented specifically to the chemistry careers. Our website houses information on internships, scholarships, research, and chemistry careers. Over the past year, we organized a series of events with the Chemistry Club related to graduate and professional schools. We will present our strategy for improving career mentoring at the Chemistry Department, share our website and demonstrate its impact on students.
