College Career Courses; Ways to explore a career
Do you have an interest in a particular career?
One way to explore a particular profession is to take a college course that will explore a particular profession. I call these types of courses, college career courses; a course that will survey a particular profession so that you can learn more about that particular profession. A college or university may offer a college career course to give you an opportunity to explore a particular profession.
A catalog at a community college can give a idea of the number of college career courses taught. A catalog a publication from a college or university that gives the coursework, polices and information about that college or university. I looked at my catalog from my local community college called Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Nebraska. The following courses comes from a 2019-2020 Metropolitan Community College catalog. I am looking at a section in the catalog called “A Place to Start” on page 50. Some of the courses that are listed are:
- Introduction to Carpentry
- Introduction to Criminal Justice
- Introduction to Corrections
- Career Orientation/Culinary Arts
- Introduction to Social Work
- Introduction to Engineering Design
- Introduction to Electronic Health Records
- Introduction to Health Information Technology
- Introduction to the Trades
- The Paralegal Profession
These are some of the career college courses that a person can take to explore a particular profession. One way to learn about a particular career is to take a college course that explores that particular career
