Welcome to BA 100: Business Career Planning

Hello.  My name is Connie Plowman.  I look forward to guiding you through this course.

INTRODUCTION:  This course is designed to help you take control of your career early in your business program and begin building the skills and confidence employers are looking for.

CAREER PLANNING:  Career planning is more than choosing a job. In this course, you will assess your strengths, interests, and values while exploring various career paths. You will learn how to make informed decisions and develop the skills needed to succeed and grow in your career.

PURPOSE:  The focus of this course is to provide an opportunity for students to learn about career planning. It is recommended that students take this course to help them secure internships and better prepare for work in their desired field once they graduate.

COMPLETION:  Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

  • Apply tools to research, evaluate, and select employment opportunities in the business field to further career success.
  • Develop employment documents and networking skills to present favorably to potential employers and improve career opportunities.

TEXTBOOK:  There is no required textbook for this class.  However, you must purchase StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Gallup with a valid access code for taking the online assessment. (Make sure it is a new book with a new access code.)

NOTE:  This course is Online with Scheduled Meetings on Wednesdays (12noon-1:50 pm) via Zoom.  It requires you attend class, actively participate in discussions, dedicate time to study, read everything thoroughly, watch selected videos, and submit weekly assignments -- on time and with quality.  

Are you ready to start planning your career today?  This course is for you!
