Exploratory
Exploratory
This community provides support and resources for students who wish to explore a variety of careers and receive additional guidance in selecting a career community and field of interest. As students explore, we help them identify challenges that they want to tackle (vs. only specific job titles) as those can also align with passions. These exploratory conversations open worlds of possibilities not previously considered. Popular tools used by our team with students to help them learn more about themselves, identify strengths, and discover exciting major and career possibilities to explore include:
| Challenge Cards | Design Thinking | Wandering Maps |
| OWU Strengths | Career Workshops | Alumni Panels |
| Match Major Sheets | Exploratory Websites | Much much more! |
