Self-discovery
The level of satisfaction you will get from your future career is influenced by how well that career falls in line with who you are. Identifying your passions, strengths, skills and work values will give you insight into yourself that will lead you towards fulfilling career options that you’re more likely to succeed in and enjoy for the long haul.
Industry Connections
When it comes to getting hired these days, it’s more about who you know in the industry and not just what you know. With professional connections being one of the best job search tools you can have, we show you how to make and then leverage those industry connections to help get your foot in the door (of the job market).
Career Exploration
With hundreds of available careers, both traditional and emerging, most people are only familiar with a select few, which significantly reduces their pool of options to pick from. With who you are in mind, we take you through our structured process of researching, exploring, and narrowing down on interesting career options that would be good matches. We also help you get a strong grasp of what various occupations involve.
Education Planning
Armed with your career goals in mind, we help you develop a solid action plan based on your educational next steps – College, University, or Trade School. Get familiar with post-secondary terminology, receive help with the process of researching, selecting, and applying to post-secondary institutions, and receive a number of smooth transition tips and life skills.
Labor Market Consideration
With the labor market in constant flux, it has become increasingly difficult for recent grads to break into the job market. Many young people graduate with student debt, unsure of how to secure full-time, meaningful and stable employment in fields that utilize the degree they have invested time and money into. Is that field growing? Is it over-saturated? What if it’s on the decline?Analyzing labor market info, trends and stats will give you direction and reveal hidden opportunities.
Career Planning
Armed with your career options and goals in hand, we help you develop a solid and actionable career plan that will get you on track to actively pursuing your desired career(s). Learn how to market yourself; and take advantage of opportunities to develop your portfolio, make industry connections that will grow your professional network, and of course – job search!
