Career Month
Your career is a journey, and figuring out life after Biola is an active process that includes exploration, experience and connecting with mentors and professionals.
This year, Biola Career Month will focus on meaningful exploration.
Take the time to discover how God uniquely designed you — your values, interests, personality and strengths — and how they align with various career paths.
Ask the employers coming to campus about what roles would best fit your interests and how to gain relevant experience, or learn about different internship/job titles and company culture at career fairs. Start asking these questions now to further define your career goals!
