ASSESS

Utilizing the Future Plans career assessments, an individual’s greatness unfolds as their comprehensive profile which identifies their natural abilities, interests, aptitudes, personality, values and strengths.

COACH

Trained Future Plans career coaches guide individuals in a 1-on-1 session where the results of their career assessment are discussed. Coaches use probing questions to guide individuals and to help them explore how they fit into the world of work. The outcome is a career plan with potential career paths that match their greatness to opportunity.

DISCOVER

Discovery events are designed to bridge exposure gaps where individual aptitudes exist in career clusters that are different from their current interests. When provided opportunities for “discovery,“ individuals often shift their interest to the areas where their aptitudes lie. Activities such as industry field trips, job shadowing, career exploration courses & more happen during this step.

PREPARE

Preparing for work includes education and live experiences such as internships, work experiences, short-term career credentials, post-secondary education, pre-apprenticeships and more.

PLACE

Securing a job or committing to continued training are all action steps that place an individual into a career path. Over the course of a person’s life, an average person will work 100,000 hours, so this process does not end with placement. This is an iterative process that a person repeats as the workforce needs evolve and a person’s life priorities change.
