What Is Career Quest?

Career Quest is a month-long, virtual career development program featuring employer-led sessions, alumni insights, and expert guidance from WGU career advisors.

Through interactive workshops and real-world conversations with hiring employers, you’ll explore career paths, strengthen job-ready skills, and grow a professional network.
