Everyone is telling you that your college education should lead to a job. We believe that your Calvin education should lead to more. That’s why we offer Calvin LifeWork, an optional four-year online program that starts with discovery and launches your career path, all while preparing you for a wholehearted life.

FOCUS AREAS: VOCATION

FINANCIAL LITERACY

Discover what God is calling you to do and who he is calling you to be. Realize you have gifts that will transcend your career—gifts that you can use to serve the world with passion and purpose.

Budgeting, credit scores, loans. Taxes, renting, insurance. Learn the essentials and get a framework to approach your finances with confidence.

CAREER READINESS

LEADERSHIP AND LIFE SKILLS

Most of us will spend much of our lives working. Whether you plan to enroll in grad school or seek employment right after college, you’ll be equipped with the practical skills you need to launch into your career path.

Be a leader in your field of work and study. We’ll help you develop the competencies you need to be successful and thrive in your life after college.

Calvin LifeWork is an intentional path to a solid future. All first-year students are invited to participate.
