Clarify what you want with the help of Design Thinking
Design Thinking is a creative approach to finding clarity amidst ambiguity. In this course, you'll be guided through how to apply Design Thinking to your own career exploration.
The course itself is broken down into four sessions: Ground, Diverge, Converge, and Plan which will help you articulate your values, explore the career possibilities available to you, design experiments to figure out what you want, and plan your short, medium, and long-term next steps.
Instead of spinning your wheels about what's next for your career, you'll follow a step-by-step process to determine what you value and plan your next move.
