Now that you have completed Unit 2, let’s revisit the learning objectives. In this unit, you have:

● Used valuable career assessment tools to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and visualize where you fit best in the world of work.

● Defined and clarified your values and how they relate to your career choices.

● Identified your own personality type preference and how your preferences connect to choice of major and career.

● Distinguished your interests, confirmed your skills, and character strengths and linked them to potential major and career choices.

Each of the assessments you completed is an important piece of the puzzle of you and what you have to offer the world of work! Now that you have completed these assessments, you are better equipped to answer the question, “Who Am I?” While self-discovery can take a lifetime, you now have information that perhaps you did not have before. Some of the results may change slightly over time depending on experiences and life circumstances. The key here is “knowing thyself.” You are off to a great start and we are hopeful you have enjoyed learning more about yourself in the process of self-discovery!

The next Unit will address the second phase of the career and life planning process: Phase 2 – “What’s out There?” This phase will include conducting career research and learning more about industry expectations. Are you ready?
