The Career Discovery Series is a program consisting of various LIVE Career Spotlight Sessions with practicing professionals.

  • Each session aims to educate students on the different career possibilities that they might consider. Spotlight sessions are held during winter quarter and these career-related interviews are comprised of UCI alumni and community members from various industries.
  • Each professional spotlight speaker will discuss their current position, career path, and any tips and hints for UCI students interested in potentially navigating into that career field.
  • A time for questions and answers will follow where you can learn even more. This is a great opportunity for UCI students to learn from a successful professional who have “walked in their shoes” and can provide sage advice.
