The transition from college to your first job is exciting and comes with its share of challenges. This workshop provides a framework for guidance, discussion, and inspiration to help you develop concrete and realistic goals for starting your career.
The focus is on your own skills and interests. What skills do you have, and how can you apply them in your professional life? What ideas and goals do you have, and how can you develop a concrete career plan? Building on this, our focus is on implementing your career plan. How do you find suitable job openings, and which application strategy will lead to the success you desire?
