Prepare for Success Beyond Graduation
When you walk across the stage at graduation, we want you to have the needed skills to succeed professionally AND personally! That’s where the InSight Program comes in.
-
Wellbeing Theme
The Wellbeing theme helps you learn effective ways to handle stress from your personal life and surroundings. You’ll learn how to take care of yourself while in college by developing healthy habits. By graduation, you’ll have created your own self-care plan. You’ll know how to spot signs of stress and burnout, and you’ll have tools to improve your overall health and wellness.
-
Personal Finance Theme
In the Personal Finance theme, you’ll learn practical ways to manage your money. Starting in your first semester, you’ll cover the basics of personal finance. As you continue, you’ll study budgeting, how to handle credit, dealing with debt, investing, and more. When you graduate, you’ll have created several financial plans, including a budget based on your expected salary and a plan for paying back your student loans.
-
Career Theme
The Career theme helps you prepare to stand out when looking for jobs. You’ll develop important career skills from the start of your studies. By the time you graduate, you’ll have created a complete career profile, a professional resume and cover letter that match your career goals, an updated LinkedIn profile, and real networking experience.
Elevate Your College Experience
Comprehensive Four-Year Program
While other schools may offer one-off workshops or resources on personal finance and career development, Champlain’s InSight Program provides a comprehensive and ongoing learning experience that ensures you graduate with a well-rounded understanding of these topics.
Holistic Approach to Student Development
The InSight Program is about more than just getting a job. It’s about living a fulfilling life. The program teaches you how to set goals, manage your time, and build relationships. It also helps you to develop your sense of purpose and meaning, so that you can thrive in college and beyond.
Peer Coaching and Support
The peer coaches in Champlain’s InSight Program are more than just mentors. They are also friends, confidants, and cheerleaders. They are there to help you through the tough times and celebrate the good times. They are there to help you reach your full potential.
How InSight Works
Each year, you’ll have a list of assigned milestones to complete. These milestones are completed outside of the classroom and can often be completed through both in-person and virtual options.
You’ll have access to an InSight course in Canvas, the College’s learning management portal. This is your self-service tool for all things InSight, allowing you to track due dates, view completed milestones, and explore options for upcoming goals.
You’ll receive a weekly email reminder of upcoming events, programs, activities, and milestone due dates. You should also watch for Canvas notifications, emails from the Career Collaborative or your career coach, and the weekly Career eCalendar.
You’ll be encouraged to start working on your milestones as early as possible. This will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed and ensure that you complete all of your milestones on time.
Career-Focused at the Core
This low-pressure game is a way for students to explore what their financial future could look like after graduation, including budgeting and everyday expenses.
At Sophomore Summit, students complete their second-year InSight requirement with a full day of career-related activities, panels, and workshops.
More than 150 employers visited campus to network with students during the 2019 Fall Career Fair, including around 40 Champlain alumni.
Feeling comfortable in your ability to manage your finances, gain confidence in your professional development, and set yourself up for a well-rounded life as soon as possible is essential, and InSight covers it all.
