Professions Introduction
Investigating professions may be an important part of educational planning for you, especially if you're designing a professionally-focused degree. There are multiple investigative routes:
- What knowledge does a certain profession expect college graduates to have?
- What skills are important in certain professions?
- What skills are generally important in the 21st-century workplace?
- What education and training does it take to enter into a specific profession?
- What sources of information do practitioners use to remain knowledgeable in their professions?
- What criteria do you need to fulfill, and what knowledge is expected, for external certification in a specific profession?
Use these resources as appropriate to help you investigate professions, and make decisions about elements of your degree.
