Begin your career development journey by completing
one or more self-assessments to gather information
about yourself to assist your decision-making. Developing an understanding
of who you are -- your values, interests, aptitudes, abilities, personal
traits, and desired life style will put you in a better position to
evaluate educational options and career alternatives best suited to
you.
