Career counseling is a lifelong
process of acquiring knowledge in:
• self-understanding,
• exploration of career interests,
• skills in locating employment opportunities.
These three knowledge areas are
essential to answering the
important career questions of:
• Who Am I?
• Where Am I Going?
• How Do I Get There?
The Who Am I? question
is answered by learning about yourself
through the Self Assessment Step,
in which you will identify your
personal interests, skills and values.
The Where Am I Going? question
is answered by learning how to
research careers that are interesting to you.
The How Do I Get There?
question is answered by doing career
exploration activities.
The following information
and videos will be helpful in
understanding the career counseling process.
