Explore

If you are in the Explore stage, you are considering what career you may want to pursue after graduation and what roles and opportunities are available for graduates.

What does it mean to explore my career options?

Exploring your career options involves identifying your own career preferences, values, skills, strengths and what you want out of your working life. It is also about investigating what jobs exist, including freelancing opportunities and running your own business or social enterprise. This process of exploration helps you to work out what you might like to do.
Experience of any kind can help you to test out a particular career option and understand more about what you want out of your working life. As long as you explore your options and acquire experience while at university, the order in which you do them doesn’t really matter.
