Plan your career
The purpose of career planning varies at different times of your life.
For university students, career planning is about choosing a career path related to your field of study and preparing for employment.
In choosing your university course, you have already made some decisions about the future.
However, all courses can lead to a variety of career paths i.e. different roles in a variety of settings and sectors. This is true even for courses which lead to specific occupations such as Law or Teaching. With broad-based undergraduate programs such as Arts or Science, there will be many options to consider.
For New Gen grads, career planning also means working out your Next Steps under the Melbourne Model. Is graduate study is necessary or valuable, or is employment the best approach?
For students who are no longer happy with their course or the careers to which it leads, career planning entails a more fundamental rethinking of your options.

- Deciding on a career path related to your field of study
