DECEMBER HOMEWORK
Our next session will focus on the interest/selection of careers. Those who plan for the future will be most prepared for the future. It is never to early to begin the process of thinking about your vocational-career interests.
For example, it can be helpful to think about:
The students' assignment is to take a couple of online questionnaires to get an idea of their career interests. The links for the questionnaires are:
http://www.ucango2.org/publications/student/Career_Interest_Survey.pdf and http://Careerwise.minnstate.edu/Careers/Clusterassessment
Students are to conduct the survey and bring back the results of their survey and be prepared to provide 3-4 possible career opportunities. Most importantly, did the survey align with your previous thinking about your career choices?
We will also discuss (panel discussions), what is more important: Making money or doing what you enjoy for a living?
Elevator Speeches will be presented during the Public Speaking sessions and College Timelines will be presented to Team Leads/Mentors. All Students should have a graphical illustration of their college timelines as well as narratives. We went into great detail at the last section with respect to what should be in the timelines.
For example, it can be helpful to think about:
- your personality - what are you like as an individual? what types of roles or workplaces would suit you?
- your abilities and skills - what are you good at? what skills have you developed throughout your life so far?
- your interests - what do you enjoy doing? what kind of careers appeal to you?
- your values - what do you care about? what is important to you?
