Career exploration is a dynamic, lifelong process that involves detailed learning about occupations, industries and work environments that are of interest coupled with continuous personal reflection and self-discovery. Career exploration can be driven by purposeful action as well as through unplanned experiences, both of which can offer insights and opportunities for reflection that help a person to take an informed direction in their career.
Published by myfuture and written by Dr Michael Healy, this Insights paper introduces the career exploration cycle, explores the benefits of career directions rather than decisions, and provides strategies for supporting career exploration in schools.
