Life Calling & Career

The Life Calling & Career 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. Students are guided in the discovery and defining of their life calling through coaching, personality assessments (Clifton Strengths, The Strong Interest Inventory, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Enneagram), and experiential learning (job shadowing, internships, on-campus employment, and informational interviews).  We help students cultivate experiences that align with their respective passions and connects them with professional networks. Upperclassman 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 career 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 professional apparel for students to keep and use for presentations and interviews.

The Team serves students in life coaching, workshops, a life calling class, and in preparation of resumes, mock interviews, professional dress, branding, and job searches .
