Career Planning Workshop (Schedule 2005)

The Career Planning Workshop is the starting point for students seeking help with career planning decisions, questions and concerns. During each of the two sessions, a career counsellor will guide participants through a host of interactive activities and discussions. During session 1, students will discuss career planning strategies, career planning beliefs and myths and individual career planning needs. Students will also begin the process of career self-assessment.

In session 2, students will use self-assessment information to identify and evaluate potential career options. An overview of career resources will be included. Career planning barriers and solutions will be included. Upon completion of session two, interested students can receive up to three individual career counselling sessions with the facilitating counsellor. Career Planning Workshops are held throughout the year with a new session starting each week during the regular academic year.
