On today’s episode, we're tackling a pretty common question—what the heck can you do with your degree?

Whether you’re considering what program to pursue or are about to graduate with a degree, it can be hard to know what’s next. We’re joined by Joy Andrews, one of UVic’s amazing career educators, who will walk us through:

• how to identify your passion and your strengths
• how to find the right employer
• putting together an elevator pitch
• the perks of meeting with your career educator

Students and alumni can book one-on-one appointments with Joy and her team.
