Career Planning – WESTSHORE
January 15, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Objective: You will participate in various career planning discussions to determine career options and gain confidence in your career decision-making process.
This is a workshop where you will participate in group discussions and learn how to assess your skills, values, personality traits, and interests related to various career options. Through self-research, reflection, and work research and reflection, you’ll see that understanding yourself and knowing about the potential employer, work environment, and culture will help you make more sustainable work choices. You will be introduced to basic psychological principles regarding job satisfaction and determine how they relate to your past and future employment. Researching careers of interest, you will be introduced to the concept of a cost/benefit analysis for educational paths. You will be more self-aware and empowered to make employment-related decisions.
To optimize your learning, reflect on what type of jobs you have had in the past and what caused your satisfaction or dissatisfaction within those jobs. You may notice your positive routines, patterns, and behaviours by collecting feedback from past co-workers, clients, or friends to enhance your search for a more suitable and sustainable job, employer, or work environment.
