    Description
    A practical, skills-based course in career development and job searching designed to prepare students for a rapidly changing labor market. Students engage with curated learning content alongside AI-based individualized learning pathways, applying both to build a complete Career Toolkit, including a resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, networking strategy, interview preparation material, and a personalized action plan for building experience toward their career goals. Students learn how to use AI thoughtfully and critically as a genuine career development resource and personalized career coach. Beyond the toolkit, students explore their sense of purpose and the broader challenges they want to tackle in the world, helping them develop clarity around their unique value in a labor market where the capabilities of AI are rapidly redefining what human contribution looks like. Through real-world professional connections and ongoing reflection, students build adaptability and self-awareness skills, as well as fluency with emerging tools, to navigate the ever-evolving world of work.
