We provide career development resources, practical advice, and personalized support to help students explore their strengths, clarify their goals, and create actionable plans for the future.
Together, we foster growth, confidence, and purpose, equipping students with the tools they need for lifelong success as they embrace their unique paths. Our mission is to empower every student to step confidently into their future with clarity and purpose.
DISCOVER YOUR WIN’S ROADMAP TO SUCCESS
At Discover Your WIN, we support students in every phase of their career exploration and development. While each student’s path is unique, we often see them progress through these three key phases:
Get Ready – Identifying strengths, interests, and goals while inviting God into their career journey for guidance and clarity.
Get Set – Developing essential career skills and crafting a clear, actionable plan for their next steps in education, career, or life.
Let’s Go! – Taking confident steps toward their goals with the support and resources needed to thrive.
These phases help students navigate their journey with faith, purpose, and direction as they discover their next steps.
