Life Calling & Career Development

The Life Calling & 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.

Our 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).  We help 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 our 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).  We even offer free gently used professional apparel donated by professionals for students to keep and use for presentations and interviews

The Life Calling & Career Development team serves students in the complex preparation of resumes, interviewing skills, professional dress, branding, and job search. To schedule a one-on-one appointment, call the Life Calling and Career office at 765-677-2520 or sign up on joinhandshake@indwes.edu.
