Choosing a career can be a daunting task. It generally begins in High School
when students are pressured to choose a college to further their education.
This process can be stressful and even counterproductive if the person's heart and mind are not in agreement.

In this class you will find clarity through an introspective approach to who you are, what you love, and what your talents are. A strategy is designed to research career options, then seek out those opportunities. College, online education, mentorship, financial aid are reviewed as the final steps to realizing your dream career.

Through lectures, personal introspection, exercises, discussions,
online research, and connecting with prospects one on one, students
will learn through direct experience what career they want to pursue
and how to go about making it a reality.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

A. Gain clarity around who you are, what you love, and insight into your
specific talents.

B. Create a strategy to research career options that align with your desires,
talents and world view, then seek out those opportunities.

C. Learn the benefits of connecting with the people, companies, organizations
that support your career goals.

D. Learn what college, online education, mentorship, and financial aid services
are available to help you during the final steps to realizing a career that will
be personally fulfilling as well as profitable.

DAY ONE- Gain clarity around who you are, what you love, and insight into your
specific talents. Create a symbol to represent these virtues. Devise a Vision Board that clarifies your occupational propensities and then research them further. Students will research people who work in the fields they are interested in, contact them and request an interview.

DAY TWO- Review student's emblem designs, Vision Boards, and the people they contacted in their field of interest. We will assess their interviews, and how they informed their career choice. 

Then the student strategizes a plan of action to make their career goal a reality. This map will define whether college, university, vocational school, online education, mentorship or entrepreneurial path is the best direction for them, and how to do that.
