Career Services

 

Career Services Week

During the fall semester, the Office of Vocation & Ministry hosts a series of workshops to provide students with some of the tools necessary to discover and pursue the arena in which they live their vocation in Christ. 

In addition to workshops devoted to job and graduate school preparation, speakers in the past have discussd the role of faith in the workplace, how women of faith uniquely navigate issues of work, family, and career, and the calling to use our gifts and talents in service of our neighbor.  To download the 2009 Brochure, click here.

StrengthsQuest

StrengthsQuest is an online assessment tool which helps students to identify their top five "Signature Themes" - their five greatest areas of talent. It was created by educators who recognized the need for high school and college students to identify and further develop their natural talents, and differs from approaches that focus on improving weaknesses.
 

The Office of Vocation & Ministry sponsors StrengthsQuest for all Hellenic College incoming students; all interested Hellenic College faculty, staff, and administration; and all CrossRoad participants (it is otherwise a $35 assessment). Reflection on Signature Themes is an integral part of OVM programs and retreats. Holy Cross graduate school students interested in taking StrengthsQuest should contact the Office of Spiritual Formation. For more information about the StrengthsQuest program, see www.strengthsquest.com or stop by the Office of Vocation & Ministry.
