Module 1: Education and Careers
Taking the time to explore and discover yourself in this first module can be one of the mroe fulfiulling aspects of the course. You will truly get out of this section of the course for what you put into it. In other words, if you work hard, and are honest to yourself, during this process, you will learn so much about...you!
Before we start exploring your education and career goals, watch this great videos from SFU students about education and career choices.
Career Exploration
Trying to figure out what career your going to have for "THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" is pretty unrealistic for most teenagers. What we will do in Planning 10 is give you the opportunity to start thinking a little more about "life after high school". Here are some questions you may ask to help you on your journey:
What are my Employability Skills?
Resume? Why do I need one anyway?
What does a good interview look like?
There has got to be more careers out there?
What rights do I have on the job?
I don't think I am being treated fairly?
Career Search Databases
Trying to discover the types of careers you are best suited for is one of the goals of Planning 10. At some point during this course, take the following tests. They are not meant to be "the answer", but rather a starting point of further exploration.
