Course Overview

Conversations regarding career choice take place throughout one’s life and can become even more apparent during one’s education. As students speak to mentors, family members, faculty, and peers, they may experience interactions that encourage them to pursue one career direction and discourage pursuing another.

The Inclusive Career Conversations modules aim to emphasize the importance of inclusive and supportive career conversations in order to teach individuals at all levels about the concepts of career choice bullying and disparagement and recommend strategies to guide effective, student-centered conversations.
