Working Wednesday, cool name, what is it? Working Wednesday (or WW as we like to call it) is a drop-in event every Wednesday on the Seminole Campus from 12 – 2pm in the University Partnership, UP Lobby. We will kick off the spring term on February 1st.
- Come have some fun and learn about employment and internship opportunities
- Practice soft skills that employers are looking for in new hires
- Discover job openings and connect with employers, human resources professionals, and many more
Each week we will have a different theme so you will want to mark your calendar and plan to attend EACH week. Students can “earn” their socks at certain events or even “earn” a portfolio.
Check out the schedule for February and come find out how to earn these cool items. Both will help as you work on your career readiness with the SPC career professionals each week.
February 1st – The Game of Life – Take your current or proposed career choice and walk through life. Discover education needed and the financial impact. Get married or not. Have kids or not. Choose transportation, housing and even do a wellness check. Learn about resources along the way and get a financial snap shot of your career and your life.
February 8th – Assessing Your Career – Check out the different career decision tools available to students. You are well aware of Focus 2, but
have you heard about the COPS interest inventory, Knowdell Card Sorts, or the JIST Personality Career Inventory. If you are still unsure of your career and major, come see us.
February 15th – Don’t Leave Your Career to “Chance” – Come play Career Pong, Pin the tie on the Provost, and more. Let’s talk about your career decision. Don’t leave it to chance.
February 22nd – What’s Your Major? – Have you made a career decision? Let’s talk about it and then have you meet with an academic advisor to create or finalize your MLP, My Learning Plan. Knowing your major and the classes needed to earn your degree will help you stay organized as you work your way through St. Petersburg College.
Career Services are here to help you make this important decision AND have fun along the way. Come learn skills and earn your socks and portfolio. We look forward to seeing you on Wednesdays in the UP Lobby on the Seminole Campus. We will be there from 12-2pm. You be there too!

Hey. I want some socks! 🙂 Can you tell me if you need to be a current student to participate? I’m thinking of the interest inventories in particular.
Hello Alisha:
The socks and the inventories are for the students. If any student is interested in taking other career inventories, we are hosting our next Working Wednesday tomorrow (Feb 8th) in the UP Lobby on the Seminole Campus from 12-2pm. Come check out the inventories and let’s talk career.
The next opportunity to “earn your socks” is Wednesday, February 15th from 12-2pm in the UP Lobby (again on the Seminole Campus). Come play our games of chance and learn why you shouldn’t “leave your career to chance.” Check out Pin the Tie on the Provost, Career Pong, Jenga, Corn Hole and the ever popular spinning wheel.
