Professional readiness happens when students develop the skills, experiences, and relationships that prepare them not just to find a job but to build a life.

The Journey Program

The Journey Program is an immersive career exploration experience designed to engage students early in the important work of self-reflection and career planning. The program is divided into four sections: reflect, imagine, plan, and build. Experienced facilitators help students gain career clarity and confidence to chart an actionable path forward.

1:1 Career Coaching

Our 16 career coaches provide almost 3,800 personal consultations each year. We help you explore who you are, what you need, what you have to contribute, and then focus these insights to help you plan your future.

Career Communities

Career communities gather the people, opportunities, tools, and resources you need to explore a range of career paths, industries and professions.
