Hub Workshop: Early Career Exploration

Wednesday, October 6, 2021
4:00-5:00 PM
Virtual
A question many students encounter is, “So, what are you going to do with that degree?”

As liberal arts students, the question you should be answering is, “What do you want to do with that degree?” The goal of this workshop is to introduce you to the concept of career exploration and equip you with a toolkit that will support you during the process. Hub coaches will demonstrate practical activities that you can do to help discover your interests and explore potential career paths, regardless of your major.


This workshop consists of two parts:
(1) A live, coach-led session where you’ll begin to identify your goals, dreams, aspirations, and more; and what you want most out of a career based on your interests, values, and skills
(2) An optional online Canvas module that can be completed after the live session where you can establish the next steps in pursuit of more in-depth career knowledge and in-the-field experiences

You should attend this workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and sciences (LSA) student
Exploring academic majors and minors, career interests, and professions
Looking for internship opportunities that can help clarify your career options
Interested in developing professional skills that will make you career-ready

What you’ll gain by attending the workshop:
Gain clarity on what type of work you find viable, meaningful, and enjoyable
Get introduced to new ideas from coaches and peers on the various ways to meet your career goals
Get access to always-on resources on Canvas for deeper career exploration and career development

Through the online Canvas module portion of this workshop, you can:
Identify your pre-existing skills and determine competencies you want to cultivate
Uncover your career values or what you want out of your career in terms of time commitment, type of work, location, and climate
Learn how to research career options that match your values, skills, and interests
