KC-201P Career Wellness *

In this course, students explore the eight dimensions of wellness and develop a wellness mindset through the lens of the course topic.  Through participation in experiential and problem-solving activities, students will acquire knowledge and skills that support the practice of wellness in daily life. Students will be guided, through self-assessment and reflection, to identify areas in their life where the practice of wellness will be most beneficial. Finally, students will develop an individualized wellness plan to positively impact self and others. Students may take up to three different Wellness topics for credit. Wellness is a dynamic and continuous process with the body, mind, and spirit interconnected. A  well-developed concept and practice of wellness acts as the framework for a healthy lifestyle and  forms the basis for a continuous mindset of wellness. At Keuka College, the wellness mindset  involves purposeful decision-making through experiential learning that leads to a sense of  satisfactory social positioning and the realization of adequate progress towards the fulfillment of central life goals. Having good career wellness is important to one's overall well-being and success. The course will center around students coming to understand their personality, values, strengths, and interests and how they impact having a career of choice. It will ask them to look at appropriate sources of career information to get a sense of whether or not the requirements of the career (such as education level, major, and salary range) meet their values and allow them to live the life that they want to live. The course will additionally look at topics such as work/life balance, preparing job search materials and running an effective job search, offer evaluation, toxic work environments, and how to get ahead in one's career.
