Discuss
Using the worksite tour and/or job shadowing, what did you learn that will help you in your own career journey? It can be a next step in the same career path, or it might be a sidestep while you reevaluate your career goals or potential employers. Either way, this information is useful to helping your make decisions of what you want to do next.
Resource
Here is a worksheet for Career Path Planning, showing the steps needed to get from where you are now to the career you observed or another direction entirely. Include things like education requirements, skills to develop, certifications to earn, and potential job opportunities along the way.
