Wellness in the vocational/career dimension is the ability to balance life with a satisfying vocation that aligns with our skills and values and challenges us in an effort to recognize the importance of satisfaction, enrichment, and meaning through our work. It encompasses our desire to contribute in our careers to enact positive impacts on the organizations we operate within, our colleagues/professional relationships, and to our society. This also includes volunteerism and hobbies/interests, to which one dedicates significant time and resources that provide fulfillment, meaning or purpose, but may not provide income.

Here are some tips for staying vocationally/career well:

• Set career goals
• Update your resume regularly 
• Practice interview skills
• Utilize online platforms such as Handshake and LinkedIn
• Seek out a mentor
• Attend career fairs and networking events
• Find an internship
• Engage in volunteer activities
• Give back to others and your community
• Join the West Central Summer Service Cohort
• Become a student leader
