Career & Life Planning
"What Do I Really Want?" "What's Out There For Me?" "How Do I Get What I Want?" Read what others are saying about the class...
Self-knowledge and exploration, career and
educational exploration, and career planning and implementation are
the three steps involved in answering these questions. The Career
and Life Planning course will take you through the whole career
development process, helping you to gain the self-knowledge you need
to research and choose appropriate career goals, learn how to enter
the job force, and maintain a successful and rewarding career.
Self-Knowledge and
Self-Assessment: What Do I Really Want?
Knowing yourself is the first step in choosing a satisfying career and major. Students will examine their interests, skills, values, and personality through a variety of methods in order to discover their ideal work identity. Career and Educational Exploration: What's Out There For Me? All the self-knowledge in the world won't help you if you don't know what your options are, or how to find out! Students will learn how to research careers and make appropriate decisions regarding their career and educational plans. Career Planning and Implementation: How Do I Get What I Want? The final step is actually getting the job you want! Don't be one of those people who graduates college and never really uses their degree because they didn't have the necessary job search skills! Students learn the best strategies for identifying job openings, writing resumes and cover letters, and interviewing successfully.
Other topics that may be
covered in the course include:
“Given the chance to go back and re-choose my classes I would most definitely enroll in this class again. I know that this class has better prepared me to make life and career choices. I’m more aware of all the things I will need to do in order to complete my major and start a successful career.”
“This class has opened a lot of different opportunities for me. I am now considering a variety of jobs I never knew existed before.”
“I am not afraid to go through the next few years because this class has prepared me to think ahead and understand what I need to do to get things done.”
“Throughout the semester I have learned a lot about myself and my career goals. First of all, I totally changed my major because of the research that I did for another major that I was looking at. I think that this class really helped me in seeing what I wanted to study and why I wanted to study it.”
