More than ever before, college students find themselves free to define their futures in any way they want. Our society no longer expects young graduates to settle on a field of expertise and then stick with it for the next thirty to forty years. Likewise diminished is the pressure to begin securing one's financial future immediately following commencement. Instead, for many college students, a bachelor's degree offers enormous freedom to explore the world of work.
Great freedom can make the search for meaningful work extremely challenging. Therefore, the Career and Community Learning Center offers a number of services and resources designed to help students establish an inner foundation for discerning their vocation or "calling" in the outer world of the job market:
- Internships -- Students can explore their deeper sense of purpose through practical, on-site internships in a variety of settings. The Internship Coordinator/Vocational Counselor can assist students in identifying suitable internship opportunities as part of the process of self-exploration.
- Vocational Counseling -- Identifying how a student's unique mix of passions, talents, experiences, and insights can be applied in service to humanity, whether as a career or as a developing skill, is part of the work of vocational counseling. From one-on-one sessions to clearness committees, vocational counseling can provide direction from a deeper, reflective perspective.
- Resource Library -- There are a number of books and tools that students can utilize to assist them in exploring career and call choices from a vocational viewpoint.
