What do students acquire during the Career Preparation stage?

During the Career Preparation stage, students primarily acquire detailed information about job opportunities. This stage is focused on helping students understand various career paths, the qualifications needed for different jobs, and the things they should consider when making career choices. By gaining this information, students can make informed decisions about their future, explore the job market, and understand which roles align with their interests and skills.

While other aspects, such as social skills, financial management skills, and networking strategies, are certainly valuable and can be developed during this stage as well, the core emphasis is on building knowledge about job opportunities. This foundational understanding serves as a critical step in preparing students to navigate their future careers successfully.
