For general studies student

PART 1: PERSONAL MISSION & CAREER GOAL

Include your personal mission (this can be copied from A2; incorporate any feedback that I provided), and your general career goal (from your Entrepreneurial Development Plan).

PART 2: ACADEMIC JOURNEY

Build a table/calendar with the courses you likely need to take each semester until you graduate from KPU. Go through the KPU calendar to assess course requirements/descriptions, etc. Be sure to include options like international exchange, field schools, co-op, etc. if relevant.

If planning to transfer to another school then explore their calendar.

If you are near graduation, identify if there are post-graduate programs (Bachelor's, Masters, Certificates, etc.) that you may wish to pursue.

Tip: Use the My Action Plan (MAP) tool within OSS to help you identify your requirements to graduate!

PART 3: PAID EXPERIENCE JOURNEY

What type(s) of paid work experience will help you achieve your mission and career goal?

Identify some specific job opportunities (e.g. specific employers and/or job advertisements that you can consider using as inspiration - the actual job descriptions can be included as an appendix). Consider both short- term opportunities (while you're going to school), and longer-term opportunities (post-graduation). You might wish to visit job posting sites like https://www.kpu.ca/careerconnection or https://ca.indeed.com/

If you are certain you do not wish to work for anyone else (become a true entrepreneur immediately) then identify how you feel you already have the work experience, perspective, and resources to start your own venture.

PART 4: EXTRA-CURRICULAR JOURNEY

What types of non-paid opportunities can you be taking advantage of to work faster towards your mission/career goal(s)? You may wish to visit sites like https://kpu-csm.symplicity.com/ or https://www.volunteerconnector.org

For example, are there specific organizations you can volunteer with and/or student/community clubs to develop your skills/abilities? How about travel or living on your own?

Describe the skills/experience you are looking to gain through each opportunity. Be specific. Simply stating "I will volunteer with ABC" will not suffice; find a specific opportunity that exists at the organization and indicate why it's a good fit for your own development/goals.
