Activity: Career Planning

Introduction

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"
- Eleanor Roosevelt 

This is a multi-page guide to help you in your career planning. You can navigate through the pages using the Table of Contents on the right of your screen (you may need to scroll down to the bottom if you are on a mobile device). You can also advance through the pages using the 'next' and 'previous' buttons at the top and bottom of each page.

Note: Career planning and exploration can be challenging because it requires deep reflecting, which can be difficult for some. 

It is worth the effort and time! Ensuring that you have support to discuss, bounce ideas, debrief, and provide some objectivity will certainly help you move through this module.
