Students in Career Planning!


Career Planning is an ongoing career development process through which learners attempt to understand their personal, family, school, work and community experiences and the importance they may have in making career and lifestyle choices.

How many times have you been asked, What do you want to do when you graduate? Do you then answer, Go to university, or is it, Work for a bit, then go back to school, or do you just say, I dont know. Well whatever your answer is, we are all not too certain what we want to do when we graduate. Influences in your life will ultimately help you choose your pathway of life, one of those influences, being your parents.

The Brandon Career Symposium will endeavor to guide you on that pathway of life. By attending the Symposium with your school or your parents, you will gain a better understanding of what the world of careers has to offer you! Dont worry; labour market researchers have indicated that workers of all kinds entering the work force can expect to experience 4-5 career changes in their working life due to technology and social expectations.

Career planning involves three main aspects for development

In addition to acquiring career development competencies, you will also need to enhance your existing skills, acquiring additional skills and applying your skills to new contexts. Good Luck in choosing your pathway for life at the 2012 Brandon Career Symposium!
