Plan For Success NOW with CollegeKnowledge™
Over half of all college students change majors at least once
during their first years in college. Starting out with more
in-depth self-knowledge and a clear career focus will:
- ensure less
time taking unnecessary courses
- more time spent on focused coursework
that will add value to your eventual career
- improve your chances
of getting a better job upon graduation.
Choosing your college major and career focus are two of the most
important decisions you will make. Decisions that can dramatically impact the
course of your life. Your career path will ultimately dictate
the people that you meet, the day-today work that you do, where you
live, how much you travel and what future options are available to
you.
The cool thing?
Our
CollegeKnowledge™ program can
help you each step of the way.
CollegeKnowledge™ Overview
This 5-step program is designed for those
entering college; who want to gain a better understanding of themselves and
which college major to choose. You will receive expert career
coaching throughout all five steps of
CollegeKnowledge™. Read
about each step:
Step 1: Assessment
Step 1 is getting to know yourself better. You will be asked to
complete 3-4 assessments that identify your interests, values, personality and perceived skills.
The results of each assessment will be interpreted for you by your
Career Specialist, with your input and feedback. All assessment
results will then be compiled into your unique career profile.

Step 2: Career Exploration & Research
During the second step in the Plan For Your Success process you
will be guided through exploration of possible careers and majors. In this step we will
explore: possible careers that fit your career profile, as well as
associated information: Growth Industries, Industries in Decline, Growth Careers,
Non-Traditional Careers, Average Salaries. Depending on your
career profile, we might also explore licensed careers, self
employment and majors supporting these possible paths.
Step 3: Choosing a Major
After careful consideration of your career profile and possible
careers, it is now time to narrow the field. In this
third step, we will consider possible limitations to a choice of major,
look at elements that make a choice more obtainable and will rank
college majors and careers on the factors you determined in the
Assessment phase (Step 1) of the program.
Step 4: Finding the Right College
Step 4 will be very valuable to each aspiring college
student. So many times we, as prospective students, choose
what is nearby, where our friends will go, where our parents went,
etc. Each of those approaches is valid in its own way, but you
may enroll in a college that is ill-suited for you. CollegeKnowledge™ will help you to
determine which colleges might be best for you, in your chosen
field of study.
Step 5: Getting real work experience
Students usually need to "try out" careers to obtain real world experience
and to make sure they are comfortable with their career choice.
During Step 5, we will work together to develop an Action
Plan to gain critical career-related experience. We
will employee a lot of 'out of the box' thinking to generate
possible options for gaining experience. You will also be
provided for tailor-made work options for your career. Work
experience - focused on your specific field of study - will put you
far ahead of your competition. Start out right.
Start out strong.
