Abstract:

Choosing a major and career path can feel like a high-stakes gamble for students. 'High Stakes & Big Wins: Making Major and Career Decisions Like a Vegas Pro' equips academic advisors with the tools and strategies to guide students through the career decision-making process. This session introduces innovative methods using Strengths Quest, PathwayU, and O*NET to help students explore career options, conduct research, and connect academic majors to professional pathways. Advisors will learn how to implement a career exploration class, utilize self-assessments, and provide structured support to students as they navigate their academic and career choices. By integrating these tools, advisors can create engaging learning experiences that empower students to make informed, confident decisions about their futures. |
