I created this workshop and accompanying workbook in an effort to develop a holistic approach to getting ready to join the workforce. As I’ve observed and advised others through the years, joining the workforce is more than just obtaining a job.
Landing a job is a major milestone and a lifestyle change. It’s about becoming a productive member of society and making a contribution. It’s about finding the right job that is suited to your strengths and finding work that is meaningful to you.
Figuring out what you want out of life and understanding the options that are available is vital in career exploration, and then taking all the steps necessary to obtain that career, requires an enormous amount of preparation.
Once employment is achieved, it now competes with other priorities in your life. A career is just one aspect of your life and must be carefully balanced with the other priorities. Once the right balance is found, maintaining the right habits to sustain the balance is essential to thrive.
