Sometimes a job is just a paycheck because the bills need to get paid and the family has to eat. When you're looking for more, a career can be a well-planned opportunity to find your best fit in the world of work. Assess your skills, interests, and values and map out a career path that will allow you to express your best self, feed your soul, and follow your passion. We'll outline the career planning process, look at the current labor market, and combine information from both to help you land your dream job. (Free for all active students in our academic program)
