Career success means different things to different professionals. Whether your industry defines success as products sold, media markets reached or something else entirely, there are smart steps students—in high school or college—can take to ensure success in their chosen field.
The KnowHow2GO Indiana 2012 campaign kicks off this summer with tips, step-by-step guides and goals for students of all ages to prepare them for college and career success. There’s even a fun contest to help you win $100 for college expenses!
Of course, one of the smartest things students can do to prepare for their future careers is to intern or job-shadow a professional. While interning will give you a deeper perspective on whether you’ll enjoy a specific career path, job-shadowing for just a day or afternoon can also give you a glimpse of the tasks and challenges a professional faces.
Career success goes hand-in-hand with education. Interning will provide you with a network of people in your industry, but they’ll also be looking to see whether you completed a relevant degree. The KnowHow2GO campaign helps prepare K-12 students for going back to school in the fall and college students for completing their degrees on time.
Don’t miss out on the opportunities you have this summer. Visit www.KnowHow2GOIndiana.org to learn how you can have a “constructive” summer and prepare for career success and college completion.
