The Schroeder Center for Career Development has been very active this week, hosting a wide range of events for its CareerFest.
CareerFest is a series of events that touches upon topics related to the workplace, success, and values.
It started Monday afternoon on campus with an information session about careers and internships at Target’s Distribution Center. A private pilot training class callout also took place that afternoon, and Career Services hosted a euchre tournament in the evening.
Tuesday’s set of activities included a workshop titled “StrengthsFest: Toward Pursuit of Your Calling” and a three-on-three basketball tournament. The “StrengthsFest” workshop centered on defining what a calling is. Career Service members helped the workshop’s attendees find and evaluate their strengths.
