Career planning is a process that includes self-assessment, career exploration and information gathering. In targeting a specific goal, individuals can explore career preparation (training and/or gaining education), attainment of marketable skills and career management.

The Career Planning Program is available and includes the following features.

and the Strong Interest Inventory) you can do at home

interests, passions, transferable skills and personality
