Join the Cawley Career Education Center for an interactive workshop designed to help faculty/staff more effectively integrate career reflection and articulation into their teaching and advising. While students develop significant knowledge and skills through Georgetown’s curriculum and co-curricular experiences, they often struggle to connect those experiences to life after graduation. This session introduces a practical, three-part framework faculty/staff can use to support students in making those connections.
Participants will engage in three activities regularly used with Georgetown students:
Values & Career: Participants will complete a guided values card-sort exercise to explore how personal values shape decision-making and career direction. This activity models how you can incorporate reflection into coursework or advising conversations.
Helping Students Name What They’ve Gained: Participants will select a course or co-curricular experience and distill it into the specific skills students are developing - and how to name them clearly. This activity provides a simple method for helping students translate academic work into language relevant beyond Georgetown.
Major Does Not Equal Career: Participants will explore the range of career paths associated with different majors using Georgetown post-graduation outcomes data. This activity demonstrates how faculty/staff can expand students’ awareness of possibilities and support more informed exploration.
