Exploring career options and information:
Now, let's talk about how your learning style can help with the career development process.
Visual learners: may learn more about majors and/or occupations and decide which sounds appealing to them by reading the catalog or "major" sheets.
You may also access some resources over the Internet to get information about occupations that interest you, such as:
Other privately sponsored sites may also contain occupational information. When accessing these sites, be critical of the information and confirm that the source of the information is reliable.
Auditory learners: may learn more about majors and/or occupations from talking to professors or professionals in a given field. Informational interviewing can be a powerful tool to learn from the experts. The student can then decide if this is a good fit for him or her.
Kinesthetic/tactile learners: may learn more about majors and/or occupations from experiencing them. These students should consider taking a career test drive by participating in an internship, Co-Op, field study, or job shadowing. Students can find out more about these programs through this site and by visiting the Career Services office.
