Career Coaching
Section Navigation

At Whitman College, you won’t wait until your senior year to begin thinking about life after graduation.
Right from the start, you’ll be introduced to your Career and Community Engagement Center Coach. Your coach will be there for you—to guide you to resources, programs, groups and opportunities to enhance your areas of study, as well as to support your growth and development as you consider what professional passions and career paths speak to you.
What to Expect
Working with your coach during your time at Whitman, you will open the door to experiences, resources, and skillsets that build upon each other. Take a look at what each year may hold.
Pillars of the Career Coaching Program
We’ve designed the Career Coaching program using these four pillars to maximize the benefits you receive by participating.
Self-discovery: Understand your strengths, interests, values and how they align with a variety of career fields.
Exploration: Access on-campus, community, and professional opportunities that allow you to gain skills, networks, and insights about potential career paths that interest you.
Reflection: Connect the dots between your learning, experiences and plans for the future.
Action: Take steps to move toward your professional goals and aspirations.
