073: What is a career and can a career coach help me?
Sometimes it is important to get back to basics... to ensure that the foundation is in place to be able to progressive effectively.
That is why - even as far into this podcast as it is (hello season 5!) - we are starting season 5 with a look at What is a career and can a career coach help me?
The definition of a career from the Career Development Institute is the one I like to share - your career is "the journey through life, learning and work". With this accurately, all encompassing definition in mind - the Dive Into Your Career podcast is here to support students, graduates and their supporters along the way.
In this episode there is further helpful exploration of what a career is and importantly, why you are missing a trick if you are not engaging with qualified support.
Whether you have just gotten your A-Level / IB / BTEC / T-Level results... or are on an apprenticeship or uni journey, early in your career - even in the middle of your career - this "what is a career" question can sometimes be enough to prompt some helpful reflection which will be beneficial for you on your journey.
... and think about it - who is supporting you with your career, this incredibly significant part of your life?
Welcome to season 5. Stay tuned for more.
