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.
