Career Planning Tips for Parents
Recommendations from the Center for Career Development (CCD)
C
areer planning is a lifelong process of defining and working to achieve career goals. As parents and family members, you have the opportunity to play an integral role in your student’s career development process. Your student will grow in many ways while at Morgan State University, and some of the biggest decisions they will face relate to what they do with their time here and how they will prepare for what comes next. The Center for Career Development is here to assist your student with all aspects of career planning — including selfassessment, career exploration, gaining real-world experience via internships, job search assistance, and graduate school planning. Together we can make their dream job a reality.
Career Assessments Whether students are choosing a major, planning ahead for their first career, or thinking about making a career change, MyPlan.com can help students explore options and bring clarity and insight into figuring out what’s right for them. MyPlan.com integrates self-assessment with in-depth career information. Highlights include career assessments (Personality, Interests, Values), career profiles, a salary calculator, a video library, and much more.
