MCMC 1016 Career Exploration Fellowship

This asynchronous course accompanies an on-campus, experience-based internship that will enable students to engage in career exploration through direct project involvement in varied functional areas. Through reflection and assignments, students will connect their internship experience to their academic and professional goals and be empowered to explore the ways in which their vocational discernment and internship experiences influence their understanding of themselves and contribute to their sense of purpose and meaning in life. This course provides space for students to reflect on the professional skills they are gaining in their on-campus internships as well as their broad interests, skills, and values. Through regular meetings with their supervisors and reports, students will consider how well their interests, skills, and values align with the internship experience, helping them to further clarify and gain confidence in achieving their long term career goals.
