Now that you have completed Unit 1, we will revisit the unit learning objectives before moving to Unit 2. At this time you have:

Applied the career exploration and planning process.
Described the stages of career development and identified the stage you are currently in.
Identified and applied important factors related to mindset such as a positive mental outlook, self-confidence and the power of positive thinking.
Differentiated between a job and a career.
Brainstormed ideas for your personal and career vision.

These concepts provide the underlying foundation for the remainder of the course.

Studies have shown individuals who are in careers that line up with their values, strengths, personality, interests, skills, and abilities tend to be more satisfied in their careers than those that do not. In the next unit, you will complete a series of different career assessments to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and the world of work. The more you learn about yourself and the more career information you gather, the more equipped you are to make well-informed decisions to help you solidify your career and life planning vision. The next unit will address the first phase of the career and life planning process: Phase I – “Who Am I?” Are you ready?
