Life Calling & Career integrates vocational exploration, spiritual formation, and career readiness, helping students quickly connect who they are with what they’re called to do. Guided by the Wildcat Way, we help students discover their God-given design, clarify purpose, and prepare for meaningful careers. Through coaching, for-credit courses, and hands-on experiences, our team walks with students in both calling and career—because purpose without direction can feel aimless, and direction without purpose can feel empty. Together, calling and career empower students to live with confidence, serve with character, and impact the world for Christ.
Our work is shaped by four guiding questions: Who am I? Who do I want to be? What am I here to do? How do I get there? These questions drive our priorities – engaging students early, fostering self-discovery, connecting calling with career opportunities, and preparing students for internships and employment. Through partnerships with faculty, employers, and the broader IWU community, Life Calling & Career helps students move with clarity and confidence from exploration to action.
Life Calling and Career utilizes Handshake, an online job and internship platform. Current IWU students have access to view job and internship postings and then apply directly for opportunities based on their preferences.
Students can also use Handshake to set up appointments with our team for Life Coaching and Career Coaching.
At IWU, Life Calling & Career is more than a department—it’s a journey of discovery. Our integrated approach combines coaching, courses, and community connections to help students explore who they are, what they value, and how God is calling them to impact the world. Each of the following services offers a distinct way to move from exploration to action.
