Career Guidance for Students

"Successful careers are not planned. They develop when people are prepared for opportunities because they know their strengths, their method of work, and their values."  -Peter Drucker

 Business and Education Connected, LLC is a career development company, which provides opportunities to students to discover their strengths, relate their strengths with their interests and then apply both to career goals.  Many students feel completely overwhelmed when faced with the many career options placed before them.  According to ACT DISCOVER Career Development Curricula for Colleges:

  • Career planning results in having realistic career goals.
  • Students who engage in career exploration programs report higher grades and feel better prepared for the future compared to students who do not.
  • Career exploration helps people face and find solutions to educational and career barriers.
  • Career exploration helps people develop a support network and learn where to go when help is needed.
  • Students who have completed career exploration have more confidence in themselves and are more motivated to achieve their goals

The average person spends 80,000 hours of their life working.  It would seem wise to spend as much, if not more, time preparing for the career after college as the time applying to get into college!!
