What career are you interested in pursuing in the future?

5 minute live Zoom explanation of student’s career plan

This assignment assesses the student’s understanding of factors impacting the labour market, the skills and experience needed for a sustainable graduate career and personal factors that impact career choice. Task (100 marks) You will explain your career plan in 5-minutes on Zoom. The career plan will be expected to cover three areas (see below):

1) Knowing why (1 minute): what factors have motivated you to choose this career pathway? These could include occupational interests, strengths or values.

2) Knowing what (2 minutes): what career are you interested in pursuing in the future? This should logically flow from ‘knowing why’ and should also include your knowledge of factors affecting that area of work in the future. You should use labour market information to interpret current challenges and opportunities and understand how these may affect your chosen area of work.

3) Knowing how (2 minutes): you will need to discuss three practical steps that you will take to get into this career. These will need to be achievable based on your current and future personal circumstances. Further details on the the NOTES (word document) and assignment brief.
