Successful career development is a life-long process. The first step in successful career development is effective career planning.
At the Career Centre we believe that the major you choose or the career you seek should represent positive steps in your path to a rewarding future. When you understand yourself and are informed about your options, you will have the tools to make choices which will enable you to be successful in whichever career direction you aspire.
Career planning is an ongoing process including self-awareness, career awareness, career immersion, goal setting and employment preparation. Book an appointment at the Career Centre to learn more.
Volunteering
If you are uncertain about your career path or have not had the opportunity to gain paid experience in your chosen career field, volunteering can be a tremendous source of information and experience!
How many careers can you identify? Most of us can only describe a handful of career options with any degree of accuracy, yet there are thousands of available careers within the world of work – some of which have yet to be discovered!
By opening up your mind to the range of potential career options available, you can liberate yourself to think about jobs, environments and industries that may present exciting opportunities for your future. Career awareness involves conducting the secondary research required to understand and expand your knowledge of potential career opportunities.
