Career & Educational Planning for Young Adults

Is Your Education Going to Get You a Viable Job?

With the average costs of an in-state undergraduate degree approaching $50,000, can you really afford to be trained for a job that might not exist when you graduate or complete course work?
Landing a job in today’s tough economy is challenging to say the least. The longer people are out of the market, the more their skills are diminished and the less relevant their education. Compounding the problem is our historically linear way of retraining. The graphic below illustrates the Three Boxes of Life.

Based on my 30 years of experience, this model may only lead to expensive college costs, debilitating college debt, and little to no entry into the job market. In the end, the education someone invested in for several years could be irrelevant in the fast-changing job market. The reason? Too many people fail to research the prospects of landing a job in their chosen field before they invest in an expensive education.
Career Planning Should be the First Step of the Education Process.
My practice focuses on an Integrated Career Model that puts a greater priority on researching the job market.

More than ever, our challenging workplace requires everyone to become keen educational consumers, whether you are a nearly divorced mom re-entering the workforce or a young person who is investigating educational opportunities. For less than what it costs to invest in one quarter of community college, my clients leave with a solid plan that clarifies their career goals and the best course of action to achieve them. It is an investment that lasts a lifetime.

Career and Educational Planning is an Investment that Lasts a Lifetime.
