Career Exploration (OUTSIDE)

Step 2

The purpose for looking at the OUTSIDE of you or STEP 2 is to become familiar with the World-Of-Work, career clusters and related occupations as well as significant influencing areas such as one’s family, faith, leisure and political preferences. This step can also be referred to as Exploration. In addition, you will want to research potential educational & training opportunities as well as identify other factors that may warrant consideration. At minimum, be sure to read and complete activities and/or suggestions provided within the first two Follow-up Options below as well as explore occupations and areas of interests in the third and fourth options. Be sure to save your results so that you can refer to them when you are ready to consider taking a CLOSER LOOK or STEP 3.
