¿Qué incluye este curso?
Our Finding Life’s Direction Course will provide you with a process to get focused on your career path and be prepared for your future. The course curriculum is an all-inclusive with videos, note-taking, interactive PDF Career Portfolio to capture all your results and exams and includes the following:
Session 1 Introduction – A review of the current statistics and trends in career readiness and development.

Session 3 Passion—What Motivates Me Most? We identify your passion areas! Extracurricular activities are a critical component of your passions that can be beneficial for advancing in post- secondary education.

Session 5 Personality – Understanding what motivates self and adaptability while interacting with others. We use the DISC behavioral assessment system to identify those traits and qualities that shape our behavior and personality as well helping in social emotion learning. Using that information we guide you through practical application examples for daily life, career, and work.
Session 6 Profession – Discovering a Personalized Career Pathway. This course includes a personal analysis of the DISC Focus Behavioral Style profile and descriptions of the 16 career clusters. The tool then matches a focus style with specific occupations in the 16 Career Clusters and Tech Prep (2 Year Degrees) that helps save time and money in a career choice. In addition, it offers ways to gain real world experience so you can secure that perfect job.
