Resources for Faculty & Staff | Wellesley Career Education

Career Education Overview for Faculty & Staff

Career Education at Wellesley has been designed to complement students’ liberal arts education. We support students (and alums!) in their ability to think broadly across disciplines, developing a strong sense of their own interests, skills, values, and strengths to apply to their career journeys. We look forward to partnering with Wellesley's faculty and staff in our shared goal of supporting students as they discover their own path to a meaningful career.
