Milwaukee Area Technical College defines career planning as a process of exploration. In a five-step process, students meet with a career coach, hear about the college’s services, take career assessments, research prospective occupations, learn about the college’s seven different academic pathways, and then reconnect with staff to reflect on their options in their academic pathway. Students are placed on a road to degree completion while they are also encouraged to consider the many academic opportunities offered. In addition, adult learners can communicate their interests, relevant experiences, and concerns to a staff member who can help them best utilize campus resources.
