Develop an understanding of business principles and concepts and the types of business careers. Study careers in depth to determine the industries, businesses, and jobs that are of most interest to you and the types of career paths related to those jobs.
Complete a self-assessment of your knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are related to those needed in business careers. Ask a counselor to assist you with appropriate interest and aptitude tests that can help you with your assessment. Get feedback from people who know you well (family, friends, teachers, employers) about their perceptions of the important skills, knowledge, and attitudes you have identified.
Identify the education and experience requirements for business careers that interest you. Compare those career requirements with your current preparation, and determine the additional education and experience you will need to qualify for those careers.
Discuss the education and experience you will need with people (counselors, business people) who are familiar with education programs and employment opportunities. Have them help you select those that fit your career plans and qualifications.
Develop a career plan that identifies the knowledge and skills needed for the career you have chosen and how each will be developed through a combination of education and experience. The plan can identify the jobs in a career ladder, the schools or education programs you plan to complete, how long you expect to take in moving through each step of the career ladder, and the ultimate career goal you would like to achieve.
