Various campus offices are organizing Career College, an event intended to help graduating seniors who have not yet decided on plans after college. The event will take place 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Saemann Student Center. A vocational lunch is available from 12 to 1 p.m. “I hope to show seniors that there are resources on campus available to help with life after Wartburg,” Lia Kampman, student coordinator, said. Kampman has worked with Derek Solheim, associate director of career services, to make the event happen. The Career College will present job opportunities by major, job search strategies and alternatives to employment. Other options after graduation include volunteering or graduate school. The Career College will offer help in writing cover letters, resumes, salary projections, networking and other general tips. “Graduating is a daunting task. Not only do seniors need to keep up on their daily school work, but they must also find jobs, search for places to live and contemplate leaving behind what they had experienced at Wartburg,” Kampman said. The vocation lunch will be provided for those who attend the Career College event. The event will feature Wartburg alumni. The event is sponsored by the Discovering and Claiming Your Callings Initiative, Pathways, Alumni and Parent Programs, the Center for Community Engagement and Iowa Campus Compact. |
