Researching Majors and Careers Workshop

In this workshop you will learn techniques and strategies to research majors, careers related to UWM majors, and other careers you are interested in. Through both quick instructional formats and independent or assisted hands-on lab activities you'll have the opportunity to commit the time to that research you have been meaning to do. Hands-on lab sections will provide immediate assistance in resolving those research snags you encounter. This workshop is helpful for those choosing a major/career direction to those preparing for interviews.


ATTEND THIS FREE WORKSHOP IF YOU:
  • have a strong sense of what you want from a major/career and have good research questions
  • have a major already chosen and want to learn about careers connected to that major
  • have specific careers to research for decision making or for upcoming interviews
