FOUN 3022 Career Development is a one credit hour course. This course is designed to prepare students for the world of work and/or further education. Special topics will include, but are not limited to, career preparation, essential job seeking skills, the job search process, resume writing, vocational portfolio, and/or interviewing techniques. It also provides Davis with the opportunity to acquire meaningful feedback regarding the effectiveness of its programs in the area of student learning. It is required of all students graduating with the BRE degree. STUDENT MINISTRY It is the responsibility of each student to locate a student ministry and contact those supervising that ministry. Students are encouraged to discuss potential student ministries with the faculty, staff, academic advisors, and upperclassmen. Ministry opportunities are also communicated in Faith Formation Experiences by visiting pastors and leaders from organizations. Student Ministry Purpose Student Ministry is vital to a student’s education. It takes students from the classroom and gives them opportunity to put into practice what has been learned. It also provides area churches and community programs or organizations with a task force of trained personnel. Students are required to complete Student Ministry for graduation from each program. In addition, each BRE graduate is required to complete an internship. Under the direction of the concentration chair, students are assigned to a local pastor, some other full-time ministry professional, or a community organizer for a field- based internship. Experience is gained in various ministry and workforce related activities. While the students’ learning experience is important, the overall goal of Student Ministry is to expose our students to local ministry opportunities, requiring them to step out of their comfort zones and participate in something they may not typically do otherwise. Participation in Student Ministry gives students an opportunity to develop a passion out of the experiences that they did not know existed and ultimately to shape their vocational direction. Another goal of the program is to edify the body of Christ and share the love of Christ with others.
Objectives:
• To serve God and other people. • To promote the discovery and development of ministry skills and spiritual gifts through service. • To provide the student with supervised ministry training, accountability, and evaluation.
Requirements and Information for Student Ministries • Students are to select a ministry that will assist them in their personal and vocational development. • For incoming freshmen, one Student Ministry Credit will be given for satisfactory attendance and participation at a local church. (See Church Attendance, page 13.) • Students should be challenged by the requirements of their student ministry, but not overwhelmed. Therefore, ministry selections should be made with the student’s current experience, training, aptitudes, interests and needs in mind. • Students should select a ministry that requires at least two hours of preparation and participation each week of the semester (total of 30 hours/semester). • Students must locate work with a student ministry supervisor. A supervisor should be someone who directly oversees the ministry in which the student is serving and is willing to provide the student with accountability, counsel, and feedback.
