It pays to plan.
Getting a college education is just one of the first steps in creating an abundant life. The real importance of college is that it can prepare you for worthy work and lifelong learning. This is why nearly all colleges and universities offer some kind of support for career development. Like everything else at Beacon, career development is something we do a little differently.
It’s a robust, four-year process that helps students identify their strengths and interests, provides structured hands-on experiences and guides them through setting high – but achievable goals.
