Now that you have developed your “3 versions of you,” the next step is to explore the industries connected to those possible career directions. This stage focuses on building a broad understanding of the industry landscape, including where opportunities exist, how industries are changing, and which environments may best align with your interests, strengths, and lifestyle preferences.
Your “3 versions” act as starting points for this exploration. Research should begin broad before becoming more targeted over time.
Focus on:
- Industries linked to your “3 versions of you”
- Market trends and future growth areas
- Professional associations and industry bodies
- Key employers and organisations
