Abstract

Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs) are theme based one-credit courses that combine college success skills, goal exploration and setting, and financial literacy with the investigation of a topic. This course will seek to answer questions such as how do people arrive at their career choices? What paths do they follow to achieve their dreams? By utilizing a variety of personality and career assessments, students will explore their interests and learn how to match personal needs and expectations with satisfying career options. Techniques and resources used for career decision-making and planning include career assessment and interpretations, goal setting strategies, introduction to the job search process, resume and cover letter writing and mock interviews. Third party review included.
