How did you find out what you really wanted to do for a living? In our current timeline, we're asking ourselves "Does work define me? What is it I really value?”  Finding out what you need from a work environment is very important, and it's something most people don't think a lot about before choosing their college and career path. Knowing both your interests and what you value from a work environment will help you thrive.

This session will help you guide your student’s career exploration with reflections that help them dig deeper than just salary and career title. You’ll also be able to help them learn about financial resources, transferring, and be able to walk them through creating a career plan so they can feel confident in their career path.
