The Center for Calling & Career at Lancaster Bible College | Capital Seminary & Graduate School exists to help students and alumni live out their purpose and clarify their calling.
To that end, LBC has taken the initiative to make the Center for Calling & Career a place where students can find clarity, counsel and the resources they need to help discern what their future holds. The hope is that every student who graduates from LBC has a deep sense of God’s calling and their purpose in life and is professionally ready for life after LBC.
The Center for Calling & Career provides:
- Personal assessments through a powerful online tool called PathwayU
- Résumé and cover letter reviews
- Mock interviews
- Networking opportunities
- Graduate school prep
- Job search resources
Pathway U is a relatively new resource utilized by the Center for Calling & Career that enables students to take aptitude tests to help them discern where their calling lies, search for jobs based on their matches and more.
Pathway U, called “one of the best tools out there” by career directors, seeks to help students identify their strengths and interests, especially related to career. Whether students know what they want to do, have questions about careers or are beginning their college journey as an undecided major, PathwayU resources are designed to help students discover their path.
The Center for Calling & Career has also organized a new Lancaster Bible College job board to replace a former platform to share available job information. All job inquiries that come to LBC’s attention through a variety of avenues are directed to calling@lbc.edu where Center personnel review them. The approved job opportunities and details are then added to the online Job Board at lbc.edu/calling.

The Center for Calling & Career also offers career consultations, résumé help and mock interviews. For career consultations, students can expect to go over a “career ready checklist” to help identify where they are in their career goal progression and how they can accomplish these goals.
Students are welcome to visit the Center for Calling & Career at any time for résumé help—and at any stage along the résumé building process. Likewise, the Center seeks to make mock interviews as realistic as possible, where students are asked a series of questions, then process how they think they did with their interviewer.
Dedicated staff at the Center for Calling & Career also provide a listening ear to students and alumni as they try to discern and process God’s leading in their life as they help students see that God has called them to let the gospel infect every part of our lives regardless of their career or job title.
