There are many things an individual can do to prepare themselves for career readiness.  Just as it is with anything you plan on achieving, one has to gather the most information as possible in order to make the best decision on completing their  plan to achieve their goals.

Career Readiness and Research is a vital part of that process, because having an interest in a career is just not enough.  There are 4 aspects to Career Readiness and Research that should take place before making a decision:

1. Do my interests in this area match my desire?

2. Do I possess the necessary skills, abilities and knowledge to be successful in this career?
