Emily Reinert, assistant director of Augsburg\u2019s Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, spoke with Star Tribune\u2019s Lee\u00a0<\/span>Schafer about the approach Augsburg takes when helping students find meaningful work. \u201cVocation\u201d is a word that students at Augsburg hear often. Career counselors value the importance of helping students find jobs that match the student\u2019s vocation, that is, jobs that are meaningful to the student and are bigger than just a paycheck. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although many college seniors seem to have a clear vision of their future, others are still stuck and wonder what is next for them. \u00a0\u201cI see the need to prod them a little to get them to go talk to people about work and careers. Their first choice for information is going to be a computer or smartphone. Google is clearly useful in a career search. Finding a way into a meaningful job is a process. It\u2019s not like there\u2019s a quick career research boot camp, and you\u2019re ready to go now.\u201d Reinert explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Augsburg\u2019s Strommen Center for Meaningful Work works closely with students to help them\u00a0create meaningful connections with working professionals and guide\u00a0them to find jobs internships in their chosen field.<\/p>\n
