Career Communities

Our Career Communities model is a holistic approach to help students expand their awareness of the many career paths, employer organizations, and industries that can align with their unique strengths and interests. Career Communities are organized by industry and create a collaborative ecosystem of support aimed at helping students explore their career interests and develop a plan to achieve their professional goals.

WP Success Teams are organized by Career Communities, allowing students to connect with academic advisors, career coaches, faculty mentors, staff, and peers who share an interest or expertise in a particular industry. These communities will connect students with information, targeted programming, and resources to explore interests and connect to potential opportunities.
