Still Exploring

Not sure how your interests connect to specific occupations or industries? Enjoy aspects of many different career communities and find it hard to narrow down to just a couple? Gain greater self-knowledge, research occupations and learn how to make career decisions by joining this community!

Please note: students should only plan to participate in the Still Exploring Community for a couple of semesters, while they are actively exploring their career interests and utilizing career coaching. Students seeking to begin planning for a credit-bearing internship will need to identify one or more other communities so that they are connected with the appropriate career coach for their industry of interest.
