Career and Education Planning
Career and education planning is an ongoing process. Your goals, interests, career and education path will likely keep changing throughout your life. The four steps of career and education planning prepare you to manage ongoing change.
The 4 Steps of Career and Education Planning
- Know yourself
- Explore options
- Choose a direction
- Make it happen
You’ve already started career and education planning if you have:
- Talked to someone and thought: “Their job sounds cool—I could do that.”
- Started a conversation with your friends or parents about what you might do after high school.
- Taken a course that gives you post-secondary-level credits, such as the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP), Career and Technology Studies (CTS) Pathways and Dual Credit.
- Wondered if you could make a living from a hobby, sport or activity you really enjoy
Career and education planning is a way of looking at life that says:
- Be flexible−make plans but stay open to unexpected events and opportunities.
- Stay curious−embrace lifelong learning and look for ways to keep developing and growing.
- Build skills and experience in areas that interest you−that’s how you open doors to opportunities.
