9. 11.1 PRINCIPLES OF CAREER
PLANNING
1. Change is constant
- We change continually and so does the
world around us, as well as the
environment we work in. Because a
single job will no longer take us from
the beginning to the end of our
working lives, flexibility is an essential
skill to carry on into the future.

10. 2. Learning is unending
- Graduating from high school or
college does not mean your
education is complete.
Opportunities to learn are
everywhere! Learn to recognize
them and make your learning a
lifetime experience.

11. 3. Focus on the journey
- Travelling through life is like
travelling down the road. Having a
destination gives direction, but
most of the time spent moving
along. Concentrate to the journey
with all its drawbacks, detours,
prospects, chances and highways to
new destinations.

12. 4. Follow your heart
- Dreaming about your future can
help you appreciate what you
really want in life. Knowing
what you want and keeping it in
your mind can give you drive
that you need top deal with
life’s encounters. Do not be
afraid to dream.

13. 5. Access your allies
- The journey of life is not
travelled alone. Friends,
family, teachers, neighbours
and any of them can be eager
and accommodating allies
when it comes to judging
what steps to take in life.

14. Stages of career planning

myself

future path
