Career Planning Using Designing Your Life Principles

February 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Free

Inspired by the Designing Your Life framework, this workshop empowers graduate students to approach career planning as a creative, iterative process. Through engaging activities and practical tools, attendees will explore how to reframe career challenges as opportunities for growth and discovery, prototype multiple career pathways to uncover possibilities that align with their interests, skills, and values, and apply design-thinking principles, such as curiosity, experimentation, and reflection, to navigate career decisions with confidence.

Please note this event will not be recorded so attend live if you can. Handouts may be available to share after the session.
