CHS411

This course engaged students in preparing for a career in the helping professions through hearing from local professionals about their educational and career decisions and participating in a series of online workshops designed to familiarize students with the internship and job search process, timelines, resources, and expectations of a successful search. Students will engage in refection assignments to help them develop a career plan that lays out how they might explore and pursue professional opportunities and be open to iteration in the process. By the end of this course, students will be able to present themselves professionally through their application documents (resume, cover letter, etc.) and in an interview. Ideally, students will take this course when they would like to begin a search for an internship or job in the helping professions. It is recommended that students be in their junior or senior year in the Care, Health, and Society major or related field.
