Career Identification
Career Identification occurs when you have completed your assessments and research of careers and you have chosen one occupation to pursue. Identify all the requirements for your chosen career: education, cost, location, etc. for entrance preperation.
You should also have a few alternate career choices in case your first choice will not work. It will be helpful to you if you become familiar with the 16 NC Career Clusters and Pathways to see similarities and differences in careers.
