A Career Planning and Development Model
Exploring Opportunities and Information
The second segment of the SODI model - opportunity awareness, is concerned with knowledge of the world of work and training. It aims to identify what options or opportunities exist, how they can be accessed, the changes that are occurring in the workplace and how these will impact on individuals.
You can conduct your own research by examining sites that provide information about:
- occupations - job descriptions, qualifications required to gain entry to careers and sources of additional and related information
- industries and professions - current developments and activities in industries and professions
- labour market trends - current and projected labour market demands, recent salaries and skills required for employment
- training courses - information on the range of courses available through universities, VET/TAFE and some of the major private providers.
The What Job For You and How to Find a Job sections on this site contain numerous articles on the above topics.
