Occupation
Keep up to three occupations in view as you explore and plan.
My Career Path
A career possibility
becomes a plan you can use.
Move from “this looks interesting” to specific goals, timeframes, relationships, and next steps. My Career Path connects the work you want with the preparation it may take.

Keep the next step visible.
Start with your occupation and a personal statement. Assess relevant capabilities, set priorities, and make room for the people and routines that help you follow through.
Revisit your goals as you gain experience. An outcome, a mentor conversation, or a new piece of information can change the next action.

FROM A GENERAL IDEA
“I need to get better at the work.”
TO A CONCRETE NEXT STEPReview three job descriptions and identify one skill I need to strengthen.
- Timeframe
- Within two weeks
- Evidence of progress
- A named skill, examples of where I have used it, and one development activity to investigate.
- What happens next
- Use Skills Development to set a short-term goal and a longer-term goal.
Bring the plan into the conversation
For you.
And the people guiding you.
Use a specific plan to make a counseling or mentor conversation more focused: what you want to explore, what you have learned, and what you will do next.
Read the five-question planning guideA useful review has three questions.
- What did I do?
- What did I learn?
- What should change in my next step?
Use outcomes and notes in networking, self-care, and mentor areas to keep that learning visible.
