Choosing a Career/Program
How do I choose a career or program? Many students find the career exploration process helpful. This process encourages individuals first to understand themselves, and to have a wide view of their options in the world of work. Next comes gathering information to narrow down choices and choosing a professional direction. The career exploration process is often broken down into four steps: Learning About Yourself, Gathering Information and Exploring Options, Goal Setting and Planning, and Taking Action
