Seminars

As part of the Pathways Collegiate Program, students attend regular seminars to equip them with the skills to succeed in college and their early careers. Based on their year in school, previous experience, and goals, Pathways students will participate in one of two seminar options for the year:

College Living Skills

These weekly seminars are devoted to teaching, modeling, and practicing social, emotional, and executive function skills. 

College Living seminar puts focus on understanding and practicing the covert rules and social norms of navigating college life. Participants also have the opportunity to ask questions, manage materials, review progress and expectations in classes, set goals, make long-term plans for assignments, and attend to other logistical needs.

Career Skills

Pathways students who have reached the Career Exploration Experience will participate in eight seminars per semester focused on career skills and the transition to post-college life.

Students will learn how to seek employment and will receive support in navigating any issues in their current jobs.

During these seminars, students will participate in career workshops and practice job-seeking and interview skills with AU Pathways staff and outside employers.
