What an incredible turnout at Michigan Technological University's Michigan Day Career Fest! Hundreds of students had the chance to explore career opportunities with top companies from across the state, including 13 U.P. employers. As a region, the U.P is blessed with nearly 20,000 higher-ed students. According to Amy Berglund of InvestUP, for a rural region, this is “significant” and reflects why this is “a great opportunity to introduce students to the U.P. employers, and also the U.P. employers to the students.” With MTU enrollment surging to 7,430 and earning accolades for early career salaries, the Michigan Day Career Fest couldn’t come at a better time! This paired momentum is creating exciting opportunities for both students and U.P. employers.

As we all take a moment to celebrate our achievements from the first quarter, I’m filled with a mix of fulfillment and anticipation. It’s heartwarming to see so many of us sharing our accomplishments, and I’m right there with you. From successfully defending my project to winning a software exhibition, starting an internship role with UNEE, co-organizing the BUCC career fair and contributing to the launch of the study stats application with GDSC Babcock, it’s been a quarter filled with milestones. Yet, amidst the celebrations, there’s a recurring thought in my mind—realizing that this is the second to the last month of my academic journey. With just about two weeks left at the university after this month, the question of ‘What’s next?’ is becoming more prominent. It’s a time of significant transitions, filled with decisions to be made and paths to be chosen. But let’s not dwell on the uncertainty of the future for too long. For now, I want to take this opportunity to celebrate the achievements we’ve all made. Let’s cherish these moments of success and use them as stepping stones for the challenges that lie ahead. Here’s to embracing the future with the same determination and resilience that brought us here.

After spending the day at a career fair at Godley High School, I stumbled upon a Facebook post by Mike Rowe that really made me think. It was one of those moments where everything just clicks. Mike had some tough words about the way we all too often think about education and work. He called out a chart showing how much more college grads earn compared to high school grads, labeling it misleading and a sort of propaganda for "college at any price." And you know what? He has a point. I had the chance to talk with some very bright students, all set on the college track. But after reading Mike Rowe's post, it hit me — are we, as a society, really showing them every option available for their future? Each one of these kids had college in their sights, as if that's the singular path to a successful life. Mike's words resonated, challenging this one-route-fits-all approach. It's time to ask ourselves if we're narrowing their vision by not revealing the entire landscape of possibilities. Mike's post pointed out something crucial: we're comparing apples to oranges. Not every successful person went to a four-year college. What about skilled tradespeople, entrepreneurs, or those who find their niche through community colleges or online courses? They're often doing just as well, if not better, and without the mountain of debt. So, what should we be doing differently? Well, for starters, we need to celebrate all paths to success. Whether it's through apprenticeships, trade schools, or even learning on the job, there are so many ways to make a good living and be happy in what you do. Working at Wachter has shown me the importance of practical skills in our industry. We need to do more to support schools and programs that prepare students for the real world, not just the academic one. It's about offering internships, partnering with technical schools, and maybe even starting scholarship funds for those who choose a different path. We need to broaden our perspective on what success looks like and how to get there. It's not just about pushing everyone towards a four-year degree. It's about finding what works for you, what you're passionate about, and going for it. Let's make sure we're telling that story to the next generation.

Many students go to college because of career aspirations and yet nearly half of job seeking college grads regret their major in hindsight. Despite the emphasis on career-readiness, 51% of students visited career services once or less throughout their college journey. We spent months meeting with students, campus leaders, and career services professionals to understand the disconnect. What we uncovered was that students want more opportunities to explore potential career paths in their industry earlier in their journey and they need the structure of a course to invest time in career discovery. ➡ What we created in response are 200-level industry-specific career navigation courses that give students the confidence to discover available career paths, execute the job search process, and practice with professionals in their chosen field. ➡ In addition to the career navigation courses, this fall we also released a free and easy career exploration tool for students to explore their possible career paths. Check out the video below to hear more about our new offerings to help students find a pathway to fulfilling employment from our Head of Learning, Gregory Edwards ↗

You know that feeling of child-like excitement and anticipation leading up to a birthday or vacation? That’s exactly how I feel about one of my favorite events of the year: MIT Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP)'s Team Training Workshop. Sadly, I wasn’t able to make it this year, but my passion for this event and all it has to offer still remains. For those who aren’t familiar, MIT UPOP’s Team Training Workshop is an annual event designed to help students in the UPOP program hone their leadership skills through workshops, activities and hands-on learning opportunities, all culminating in a career fair at the end of the week-long program. It’s also a week I refer to as my “annual refresher” where I have the opportunity to connect with students, model the power of teamwork and even learn a little bit myself. Through the years, this event has deepened my love for mentoring in ways I never could have imagined. It's given me a chance to connect with each student on an individual level and work with them to craft their own career game plan. While the entire week is filled with amazing moments of learning and growth, the real cherry on top is their beaming faces after they nail their elevator pitch at the career fair. I’m always left in awe of the incredible talent these students possess—and that all they really need is a vote of confidence and a little push to get them going, and then they’re set. Having served on the advisory board for multiple years, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of such a transformative program. I also want to thank all the dedicated staff who go to great lengths to organize the event each year, as well as the mentors who always bring their A-game, especially Mariquita Blumberg, Ed Kessing, Andrew Sommer, Betsy Boyle, Tim Dove and Reza Rahaman. I’ll always be UPOP’s biggest fan and can’t wait to see all the greatness still to come through this program. For any MIT students interested, I highly encourage you to apply! #MITUPOP #MIT #Mentorship #Leadership #CareerFair
