Goal of Student Retreat is to Ease Real World Woes
USD’s department of Mission and Ministry hosted a retreat this past weekend to help seniors to transition into the workforce. “The Best Four Years of Your Life: Now What?” takes place over two days, and will allow students to network with alumni, share insights and take part in a workshops such as how to balance a budget.
For many, life after graduation is a challenge because of the often-tedious work that’s required at many entry-level jobs. Instead of the stimulating atmosphere of a classroom, recent graduates may have to prove themselves to employers. To prepare students, University Ministry will offer strategies on easing the transition between school and career and on finding work that leads to a career that will improve their community.
