In this interactive session we’ll explore different ways of conceptualizing career. We’ll focus particularly on a broad definition of career that includes non-work elements of life, like family, and discuss strategies for defining and finding meaningful careers. We’ll cover job search strategies, labour market research, and self and career exploration activities.
