Career exploration consists of two elements: self-analysis (exploring the self) and research about potential careers.
Self-analysis means assessing and exploring our values, personality traits, interests and skills.
Research about careers includes academic research using scholarly and governmental sources and hands-on research with experiential activities including informational interviews, shadowing, observations and volunteering.
Be aware of the brand you’ve created on social media since career contacts will search for you online.
HACC’s Career Services offers many tools for self- and career exploration. See HACC Career Services [hacc.edu] .
Creating an academic plan ensures students stay on track toward their educational credentials by taking the correct classes in the correct order.
The three types of classes you may have in your academic plan are prerequisites, general education and major requirements.
Every student has an assigned academic advisor to assist with creating and completing an academic plan, and students should meet with their advisors each semester.
