  • The first step for a student towards a career is to spend some time finding out about you. Grades and test scores are only part of the picture. 
  • Students get to know themselves better. They are able to think about what they are good at, what they enjoy, what kind of personality they have, and the values they possess. They can learn more about themselves and the world of work. 
  • Identify interests and skills. 
  • In today’s world, where there are hundreds of careers to choose from, it’s a smart idea to spend some time looking closely at the options before they decide.
