Career Support for Alumni
What is Career Development? (Something you will be doing on and off throughout your life.)
The process of finding what you want to do and then pursuing that goal can be summed up in a three-step process: gaining Clarity, taking Action, and staying Motivated. You can gain personal clarity through career assessments and personal reflection. Career assessments are tools designed to help individuals understand how personal attributes (e.g. interests, values, skills, preferences, motivations, strengths, worldview) impact their potential success and satisfaction with different career options and work environments. This is followed by a sincere look at the world of work and occupational options. You will take action by trying on various careers through jobs and internships and staying motivated until you find just the right fit. The resources below will help you in this process.
