REVIEW

Diversity

• Acknowledge – similarities and differences

• Acceptance – of other cultures who do not believe as you do

• Action – Choose your responses to prejudice and discrimination with the truth, understanding, critical thinking and open mindedness.

INTRO TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Career Goals

• A goal is where you want to be. • A plan is the strategy you employ to get

there. – “Bite-sized” steps of action– Details the activities– Organizes your dreams

A plan is not a life sentence.

As your interests and expertise change, feel free to adjust your plans and goals.
