What you'll learn

By the end of this mini course, learners will be able to:

Explain why career exploration starts with self-understanding, not job titles

Identify personal interests, skills, values, and lifestyle

Learners leave with a personal Lifestyle map and language to describe what they're looking for in a career

Understand that career exploration is lifelong

Describe career exploration as an ongoing process rather than a single decision

Recognize patterns through self-discovery

Complete a four-area self-discovery map and recognize patterns within it

Why this topic matters

Career exploration is not just for persons new to the workforce or those unsure of the career direction they want to take. It is a lifelong process and important to people in different transition phases. It is about more than picking a job. It is about understanding yourself and who you want to become.
