Don't have a clue what you want to "be" when you grow up?
Are you in the workforce and now looking for a different career?
Have you decided to go to college or go back to finish your degree?
Do you need help selecting a major or program of study?
Do you need technical training to get one of those fast-growing "techie" jobs?
Interesting in learning about your educational opportunities in military service?
Want HELP????
DISCOVER can help with all these situations and more. The concept is simple. DISCOVER offers guidance and information to help you make these important career and educational decisions.
How do DISCOVER's inventories help me?
The results of the interest, abilities, and values inventories are presented in an integrated way that makes it easy to understand the results as a whole by relating them to the world of work. DISCOVER's World-of-Work Map lets you see how interests, abilities, and work values relate to each other.
Take the career inventories (there are no right or wrong answers). Explore the career areas that DISCOVER will then suggest for you. Link up with the training required. Find out where it's available. Start narrowing your decision.
Just remember that it's a process. Take time to think and to talk with a counselor and family member if you can.
Today's world of work is changing very rapidly. Maybe you've already been through this process once and are returning to DISCOVER to choose a different direction because your job has changed or is no longer needed. Whether you're planning your first career or your fourth, remember that we all need to be ready to look for new career directions throughout our working life.
Good luck in planning your career journey!
