Re-imagining career paths for Liberal Arts students

Have you ever wondered how some people end up in certain careers with the degrees they hold?  Have you ever wondered why some people flourish with degrees that are not a linear match to job titles?  You are not alone.

Post-secondary education has not kept pace with how degrees align to the job market.  Therefore, they still tell the same old linear career stories -matching programs to occupations such as nurse, engineer, teacher or accountant etc.  This approach works for about 24% of the population.  But what about the other 76% of you?

The world is continuously changing and few direct pathways to career success exist.  The maze of labour market information is difficult to understand and often unreliable.  Learning about specific employer expectations is overwhelming.

This makes predicting career options and planning transitions challenging.  You need a career planning model that accounts for hybrid occupations, changing labour market trends, advances in technology, emerging occupations, and the ability to see how your skills, interests, and talents can contribute to a multitude of occupations, as well as be used to pivot from one occupation to another if necessary.

Career Mapping does just this!  It uses labour market data, but goes the extra mile and maps the real journeys of graduates from their degrees to their careers.

Career Mapping even provides expert advice on what these graduates did to secure specific occupations. Being able to explore your options is the first step towards imagining all your possibilities.
