Inside Higher Ed: A Road Map for Successful Career Exploration

A program funded by an NIH Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) award at the University of California, San Francisco has developed a useful career development tool – the Career Exploration Road Map. This Inside Higher Ed article highlights some of its features.

The map is intended to be revisited throughout career exploration, in recognition that the processes of practicing self-assessment, investigating careers, and implementing change are each highly iterative. The map is complemented by a YouTube video titled, “The Fantasy, The Ideal, and The Reality of Career Exploration.”
