Career Self-Exploration for Student-Athletes Workshop
Although not always recognized as such, being a “student-athlete” is a foundational career that provides opportunities to develop leadership, communication, teamwork, motivation, ethics, creativity, problem solving, physical, coping, task execution, and organizational skills.
Unfortunately, many student-athletes lag behind their non-athlete peers with regard to career readiness, failing to recognize how sport-related skills are an asset in the workplace.

Objectives:
- Student-athletes will identify transferable skills that they have developed during sport participation
that are valued in the world of work.

development process.
