Build your career: Planning and strategies for employability

This unit equips you with the capacity to manage your career lifelong. It contextualises this understanding in the history, sociology, economics and future of work. Work legislation and the role of unions and professional associations also provide a setting for exploration of career concepts and theories and their application to the individual. You will develop a career plan based on an awareness of your skills and aspirations and an understanding of approaches to job search, career decision making and managing change.

The unit will be delivered through a mix of seminars and practicals and will draw upon your recent or concurrent experience of work.
