Description: 21st Century Careers

In this eight-week course, students examine projected employment trends of the 21st century, predict the effect of these trends on their own careers, identify reliable sources of occupational and job information and use these sources to design personal career goals and a job-advancement, job-search, or career-change plan. Issues such as career definition in the 21st century and the importance of developing new skills for a changing environment will be addressed.

Course learning activities include reading, Internet searching, manipulation and use of web-based occupational databases and interests/skills/work values inventories, web-based discussion and three different types of writing.

The course is appropriate for alumni of any age or previous career preparation, whether they are beginning to investigate career choice or job advancement options, finalizing career change plans, or selecting new careers after retirement from other work.
