Beginner Level
Students will explore the difference between a job and a career. They will learn about others' career journeys and the mistakes and challenges they had along the way. The book, "Career Journeys from the Ground Up: Discover Your Own Path," will be mailed to each student that enrolls and is part of the enrollment fee. My learning style is interactive, personal and hands-on. There will be activities and ongoing discussions that will help students learn more about their dreams, interests and abilities. The class is open and very personal. It is the goal of this class to offer students a beginning look at how people select their careers and what opportunities they can take advantage of.
Learning Goals
Students will earn about themselves and some possible career directions to pursue, based on the activities in the 3 classes.
