Are you looking for your passion? Do you want to explore other fields of interest, but are unsure of what they are? Junior year is a perfect time to clarify your career interest and get a better idea of the kinds of work you want to pursue or what graduate
programs match your interests. For this workshop we will ask you to take the Strong Interest Inventory prior to our meeting – it is online and takes about 30 minutes. The Strong is a well-respected tool to help you identify likely career paths of interest.
It also sheds light on your work style and work personality. When we meet we will discuss the meaning of your results, AND how to take the next steps to explore your career options.<b>Registration on CareerBridge REQUIRED for the event in order to receive
