1. What is a career?

In this section, we are going to look at what a career is and hear about the kinds of careers women have and how these have developed over time. The experiences of the women in the video will give you some ideas as you start thinking about yourself.

Now that you have heard from other women, perhaps you have started to think about the next step in your working life.

Maybe you are looking for paid work for the first time or want to move into a different job.

Perhaps you want to set up your own business or grow the business you already have.

Or maybe you’re thinking about more education or training.

If you work through the text, the videos and the activities in this course, you should come out at the end with a clearer idea of what you want to do in the future.

In Section 2, we look at your life so far and the experiences that have led you to where you are now.
