Career Development Toolkit
College is long on skills and experiences, but short on strategies for leveraging and showcasing them. This workshop helped students name and present their abilities for a variety of professions, which they recognized as exceptionally valuable. Colleen’s approach of identifying and exploring strengths, connecting that knowledge to their professional vocations, and developing a personal brand gave personalized, hands-on career development that aligned with the department’s creative and conscious culture.
