> Which Direction For My Career

There comes a time for most people when they ask themselves about which direction they should take for their career. For some, this question is asked before their career even begins, perhaps even before entering college.

In most cases, the sooner you can decide on the direction that you would like to take your career, the better. Forethought and planning can help make the decision making process easier earlier on in your career. The first thing you need to remember is that you will likely not start off at the top of the ladder, but rather that you will need to work your way up to your goal career position.

One of the primary considerations when deciding on the directionality of your career is education requirements. Are there special degrees or certificates that you will need to advance your career and where are they available? Time may be a factor, especially if you are already working in the career field of your choice. There may be options of night schools or correspondence courses to get the degrees and certificates necessary to advance your career.

By defining your goals as clearly as possible, armed with information, you can set a course for career fulfillment and find a time frame that will suit your needs and career advancement.

Deciding on the direction you would like to take your career in is not an easy decision to make, nor one you should make hastily. Take your time and clearly define where you want to be in one year, three years, five years and ten years. Research for information to help you understand what you will need to accomplish to meet these goals.
Careers, The Correct Qualifications

Knowing what those at the top of your chosen industry have accomplished in order to reach their positions will be one of the most helpful things you can do for your career. Getting these correct qualifications for yourself should be your first priority as far as achieving your goals.

Go online and look at resumes that are posted. Check out the bios of top CEOs. Read articles on the business and as many books as you can find on the industry in which you are interested. Because few people will follow the same path to the top, make a list of entry level, mid level, and upper level positions that different people in the business have acquired. You may find that it is easier to make your way into a related industry and then transfer over to your career of choice. By looking at what those who have come before have done, you can shape your path accordingly.

Education is the logical first step when training for a career. Online classes and night school have made it possible to train for a new career while maintaining your day job. In the event that you need a higher degree that you can’t get through the Internet, there are a variety of grants and loans available to fund your education. If you are confident that the career you are training for is really what you want and that this career will give you the funds to repay the steep fees for a higher degree, this may be the best choice. Networking in grad school may do more for your career than the classes you take.

On the other hand, hands on experience is a great teacher as well. Look for assistantships, internships, and volunteer work in the industry of your choice. You may find that another career is more to your liking. The process of acquiring the correct qualifications for a given career may show you a totally different career that you didn’t even know existed.

STI Education Service Group (STI) has introduced the worlds first Enrollment to Employment (E2E) System as its way of responding and contributing to the global and local demand in human capital development.

The E2E System, an industry first that aims to help students succeed in their chosen careers with knowledge-based skills and quality, I.T.-enhanced education, is a complete approach to human resource development. This means students get applicable education, job market skills, job preparedness and job placement assistance. This system essentially covers students needs from the time they enroll up to the moment they apply for employment.

The E2E System has four essential components: content, school management, student certification (or pre-employment certification) and assured job placement assistance.

Under the content component, STI promises that only qualified faculty handle classes to make sure that all the courses being offered are carried out well. For better application, STI has mandated that all its instructors and professors regularly undergo training and various seminars to improve teaching skills and techniques.

The first component of the E2E System also makes sure that each bona fide student is assured of receiving what STI calls its standardized courseware, a highly advanced curriculum based on job market demands. This means STI delivers the same top-of-the-line education to its all its students in its various schools and learning centers all over the Philippines. STI is the only educational institution in the country that has standardized courseware.

Under school management, STI promises that the same proceduresfrom registration to implementation of its standardized coursewarewill be carried out in all STI colleges and learning centers to ensure consistency in delivering quality education. This E2E component also includes STIs faculty training to improve teaching skills and techniques and social development programs for both students and teachers.

In the third E2E System component (student certification) students will undergo evaluation activities after which they will receive certificates as part of their credentials. Certification for certain skills and trainings received have been found to play crucial roles in boosting self-confidence in the part of the job applicant, lending him credence in the eyes of the employer.

Some activities included in the student certification component of STIs E2E System are student competitions, seminars and exhibit, which are carried out either separately in the various STI schools and learning centers or throughout the entire network. A partner organization in this component is STI-Universal Worker, Inc. (STI-UWI), an STI subsidiary that aims to prepare qualified professionals for a successful life and career in countries other than their place of birth.

In the last component, assured job placement assistance program, STIs responsibility to its students is extended far beyond mere education as it helps its graduates use the knowledge they have acquired. The assured job placement assistance program helps STI students capture their career goals with the cooperation of Interactive Career Assistance and Recruitment System (I-CARES), an online recruitment management system exclusively for STI students and alumni, and Global Resource for Outsourced Workers Inc. (GROW), a leading overseas recruitment and staffing agency.

STIs E2E Systemright education, innovative learning systems, market-oriented programs and employment supportis envisioned to make STI achievers one of the most sought after workers around the globe.

They will be living proof of STIs commitment to addressing perhaps one of the bleakest predicaments in the Philippines, which is employment, or rather, lack thereof. It is also STI contribution to global human resource demands, by graduating quality knowledge workers that the world will one day come to recognize as being products of the Philippines, STI (designation) (representative) said.
