Beginning the week of September 23rd and throughout the 2024-2025 academic year, the Life Design Lab will host Industry Weeks.
What are Industry Weeks?
Industry Weeks serve as an exciting opportunity for students to learn about different industries, network with top employers, and see how their unique talents and skills make them qualified for careers across a variety of professional contexts; even those that they may have never considered before!
The Industry Weeks initiative was created out of a desire to help students explore professional possibilities from a low-stakes, skills-based lens. Rather than encourage students to pursue opportunities that appear to be most in alignment with their major or academic interests, the Life Design Lab is challenging students to get curious about the ways their skills and interests translate across industry. Each week brings students a chance to learn from industry leaders about innovations in their fields, gain insight into the realities of the world of work, explore opportunities for jobs & internships, and receive tips on how to stand-out throughout the application process.
Where can I learn more?
We hope that Industry Weeks will continue to provide students with opportunities to imagine and prototype possible futures, learn how their interests and skills apply across a variety of contexts, and talk to people who have pursued non-traditional career pathways before.
