Going After What You Want
Means Doing Something About It Today
CAREER ASSESSMENTS
After you obtain the results of your career assessments from the Career and Academic Counseling department, we can help you explore the careers you would like to consider. Career assessment tests from CAAC include:
- Myers-Briggs
- Strong Interest Inventory
INTERNSHIPS
Internships are a great way to get experience that will take you a long way. Often, a door can be opened to an opportunity through an internship that might be very difficult to open if you were attempting to enter as a permanent employee. Experience gained from an internship counts as quality experience for future opportunities. Many employers hire their interns full-time after graduation.
FIND A MENTOR
Many individuals who have found success in their fields are willing to help someone else pursue similar goals. Their guidance is often invaluable.
MEET WITH AN EXPERT IN YOUR AREA OF INTEREST
If you are in the early stages of exploring a career option, you might want to meet with someone who has experience in your area of interest.
JOB SHADOWING
Once you have an idea of a specific career path you think might fit, you can spend a day or more with someone who currently has a job similar to what you are considering.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING
UVU has an excellent Leadership program. With just a little more effort, you can have an amazing experience, learn invaluable skills and have the Leadership certification noted on your transcript. What a terrific way to help you excel in whatever you accomplish!
