MIT Office of Career Services (MOCS)

What MOCS Is

A career office, inside your program.

MOCS is the career and well-being arm of MITSDE, built into every program for students enrolled from Cohort 15 onwards. It delivers a personalised career plan, structured milestones, workshops, mentoring, counselling, and placement support — running across all 4 semesters.

Three Pillars

Pillar What It Means
Personalized A Career Development Plan built from your own diagnostic, goals, and gaps.
Continuous Support across all 4 semesters — not a final-semester placement push.
Holistic Career readiness and mental well-being — both built into your plan.

The MOCS Journey — How It Works

Five stages. Four semesters. One outcome.

Stage What Happens

2 — Plan  |  Sem 1, Months 3–6 Roadmap finalised. LinkedIn setup, role clarity workshops, peer connect.
3 — Build  |  Sem 2 Soft-skills training, communication, leadership, networking, and mentoring begins.

5 — Place  |  Sem 4 Active placement support, offer handling, salary negotiation, final mentoring.

The Career Diagnostic Tool

Your career is measured before it is planned.

Completed in Month 1, the Career Diagnostic captures four things:

The diagnostic drives your CDP, roadmap, workshop priorities, and mentor match. It takes 30–45 minutes, delivered through the LMS in the first 30 days.

Your Career Development Plan (CDP)

A career plan written for you, not for everyone.

Built from your diagnostic, reviewed by the MOCS team, and delivered as a PDF and audio walkthrough. No two CDPs are identical.

What Your CDP Includes

Component Description
Career Snapshot Current role vs. target role — side by side.
