PRE-COURSE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
In order to unlock the lessons and get started, students will need to fill out a short impact assessment. This helps measure the impact of the course on students’ confidence and sense of purpose and ensures that the course is as impactful as possible for students from all different backgrounds and programs.
01
INTRODUCTION
You'll learn a new approach to finding a career: one based on following your interests. You'll see how shifting your perspective about careers can help you find greater satisfaction with your work, and how talking to professionals who share your interests can open up new doors.
02
LET GO
You'll fine-tune the process of self-exploration by identifying how outside influences have affected your decisions in life. By “shedding the Noise” and separating who you are from what others want you to be, you'll create a new definition of success for yourself in your education and career.
03
DEFINE
You'll use the Roadmap tool to explore your interests and match them to careers. By discovering careers that are connected to your interests, and hearing real career stories from people who share those interests too, you'll be able to approach your future career from the perspective of what motivates and interests you.
04
INTERVIEW PROJECT
After identifying your interests, you'll research people in your community who are working in careers connected to your interests. To complete your Interview Project, you’ll schedule an informal conversation with one of them where you’ll get to ask about their career and life journey to get insights for your own path—then you’ll share what you learned.
05
BECOME
You'll reflect on your Interview Project, thinking about what you learned and how it applies to your own life. Now that you have a better sense of who you are and what you want for your future, you have a solid foundation to guide you as you move forward.

POST-COURSE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
To finish the course, students must complete the post-course impact assessment. Completing this assessment helps ensure that the course continues to positively impact students, and the feedback gathered helps shape the course for future students. Each student should only complete the post-course impact assessment once. Students can only access the assessment once they’ve submitted their Interview Project and all lesson questions.
