Career Exploration Workshop

The Academic Advising and Career Exploration Center is conducting two informational sessions on career exploration this month. These workshops are an excellent opportunity for students who are unsure about their current major to learn about our career exploration process. We hope you will encourage students in your classes or advisees to attend this workshop. Verification of attendance will be provided upon request. Please contact AACE at 628-5577 to let us know that you will be sending a class to one of our sessions.

More information about this workshop can be found in the flyer below. Please click on the flyer to see a larger version and to print.

When is the best time to do Career Exploration? Now! Research states that students need the beginning of the semester to get familiar with their new classes, then they do career exploration in the middle, which will allow them to choose a major before they enroll for the next semester. Have your students call our the Academic Advising & Career Exploration Center today to schedule an appointment!
