Career Development

The Career Development team at Indiana Wesleyan University celebrates students’ God-given uniqueness by holistically developing and equipping them with the resources to make informed career decisions, ultimately enabling them to live a life of purpose and stewardship.

The Career Development team offers innovative and intentional programming to align with students’ development. Freshmen are guided in the discovery and defining of their life calling through coaching, assessments (Clifton Strengths, The Strong Interest Inventory, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), and experiential learning (job shadowing, on-campus employment, informational interviews).  The CD team helps sophomore students cultivate experiences that align with their respective passions and connects them with professional networks (internships, networking events, field trips, LinkedIn). Juniors are encouraged to pursue leadership positions in on or off campus employment, student organization, research committee, or other co-curricular involvement, as continued personal discovery and professional development. Seniors work with the CD team’s employer relations personnel to navigate post-graduate plans, complete applications, and learn about additional ways that they can secure meaningful work (job fairs, employer recruitment at the Career kiosk, Handshake job board).

The Career Development team serves students in the complex preparation of resumes, interviewing skills, professional dress, branding, and job search. For easy-access help, stop by the Career Kiosk in the Barnes Student Center. To schedule a one-on-one appointment, call the Life Calling and Career office at 765-677-2520.
