College Seniors: Are you ready for the workforce?

By Aafke Loney
 

College seniors are concluding their final classes and heading for the home stretch toward graduation.  It is a very exciting time and anxious time as many students have yet to find employment or a career field, which would complement the student’s chosen degree and education. 

At Business and Education Connected we provide college seniors valuable assessments, which provide career guidance decisions for this final college semester. Students complete precisely selected assessments of strengths and interests. The results of these assessments are related to various career fields.  Students are equipped with online tools allowing them to explore the related career fields, research types of careers within their fields, and create a career plan.

Testimonial:

“The BE Connected Basic program helped me to discover and analyze how my strengths, values, skills, and interests can all intersect in a fulfilling career path.  As a college senior struggling to decide what to do after graduation, this program was just what I needed; it has given me the confidence to take the next steps towards my future career.  The program provides many opportunities for in-depth personal analysis, and it includes unique online resources that give access to interviews, comparative salaries, education requirements, etc. pertaining to my careers of interest.  Using these opportunities and resources, I was able to eliminate careers that did not match up with my strengths and values, while at the same time discovering careers that would utilize my full potential.  Aafke Loney and Christine Ricci are clearly passionate about connecting individuals to fitting and fulfilling careers, and this dedication was very evident in the time they spent guiding me through the program.”  – Cassie R., University of Denver
