Welcome to College UnBound Season Three, Creating Context for Independence. Today our subject is Career. Focus Collegiate uses the college experience as a metaphor for life, so while few first-year students are focused on life after school, it makes sense to bring career into the picture. Because, of course, college is just the beginning.
Early career awareness among students helps them identify their passions and prepare for future jobs. It also correlates to school success. Research shows that students are more engaged when they can see the connection between their studies and real-world applications.
Our guests are Focus Collegiate Founder and Principal Grant Leibersberger and our Managing Director, Rich Davino.
Join us as we discuss:
· How a student knows if they are on the right path
· How to pivot when they are not
· How Focus Collegiate career services and approach differ from those traditionally provided by college career services offices
· How parents can talk to their student about career and why “What are you going to do when you grow up?” is the wrong question
