This dynamic workshop, hosted by Georgia Tech’s Career Center and Exploratory Advising, empowers students to connect their academic choices with future career opportunities. Through interactive activities, participants will explore their values, interests, personality, and skills (VIPS) to understand how these shape majors, internships, and professional paths.

• Identify their core values, interests, personality traits, and skills (VIPS) and explain how these influence academic and career decisions.
• Connect their chosen major (or academic experiences) to potential career paths and articulate this alignment confidently.
• Develop a concise, recruiter-ready elevator pitch that highlights academic strengths and career goals.
