When the workshop started, I was lost. Now through the assessments, quizzes and discussions, I have a clearer picture of the kind of life and career I want. The values, lifestyles and work environment assessments really helped me decide what I want my career to look like. I am more in control of my life and feel better organized to begin looking for work. And I loved interacting with the other students in teams and sharing experiences– even though we were all very different, we discovered a lot of things we had in common.
