How to Help a Student Explore (Parents & Families)
For many college students and their families, it is not long after a student decides where she will attend college that the question “What will she do after she graduates?” becomes a frequent topic of inquiry. Luckily, at Wellesley College, she is in the perfect place to begin to explore the interests, priorities, skills and strengths that will help her to answer that question and to prepare for the lifelong career journey ahead.
How to Help a Student Explore (Faculty/Staff)
As in the liberal arts, exploration is at the core of a meaningful and successful career journey. While many students feel they need to identity a specific career objective and the major to match early in their college career, the reality is very different. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average college graduate will hold more than a dozen jobs in their lifetime, across multiple career fields. Given all that change, what will best serve students as they launch their careers is not certainty and narrow expertise, but the ability to think broadly across disciplines, adaptability, and a strong sense of one’s own interests, skills, values, and strengths.
