Careers Exploration

It is important to set aside time to think about your future and what career path you are drawn to. You can do this in a variety of ways, but there are two main things to think about:

  1. What do I like doing? How do I like to spend my free time? Do I have hobbies and interests that I want to take further?
  2. What am I good at? Which subjects at school do I excel in? What are my main strengths?
