My Career Plan
List the careers you are most interested in that align to your personal values.
Research several methods you can use to gain experience in your chosen field. Then, identify the ways you’ll gain experience and describe how this experience will benefit to you.
For example, if you’re launching a new career, it’s important to research ways to get experience that work with your schedule and commitments. If you’re looking to advance in your career, think about how you can get experience to acquire the skills to take you to the next level. Here are a few examples to consider:
- government internships for professionals
- traditional internships
- virtual internships and micro-volunteering
Think outside the box for opportunities such as offering your services to your friends, community groups (schools, church, synagogue, mosque), nonprofit organizations, or your current employer.
My Support Plan
- If you need support, who will you reach out to internally and externally?
- Do you have a mentor? How might a mentor help you succeed academically and professionally?
- What will you do when the unexpected happens? How will you get back on track? Who will you communicate with for help inside and outside the university? One piece of advice: Don’t wait!
- What can we do to support you and help you succeed?
