WatSEE-aligned Actions
A sense of meaning/purpose can provide stability in a rapidly changing world.
- Through student interactions, encourage students to reflect on the relevance of their courses to the types of work that they might find meaningful and that align with their:
- Values and needs
- Talents and skills
- Ways of engaging with the world of work
- Wishes to make impact
- Increase student awareness about Centre for Career Development workshops and appointments that can help them explore holistic career goals and identify relevant experiences
- Suggest students talk to people they know (friends, family, instructors, TAs, etc.) to learn more about the types of problems being addressed in different fields and careers, drawing connections to their own self-understanding
