Use career development tools to get ready for Spring 2017 at SPC

Career Exploration,

Career development tools at St. Petersburg College can help students get ready to enroll in Spring 2017 classes.

Career development tools: Focus 2

spc-career-development-tools-focus-2Focus 2 is one of many career development tools that SPC offers to students.  It’s purpose is to help students find an occupation right for them and pick a major that will help them achieve their academic and career goals.

If you are still undecided as to what type of degree you are seeking and haven’t completed your Focus 2 career assessments, take the time to finish them. That way you’ll be ready to enroll in your classes before your favorite class schedule fills up for the Spring 2017 term.  Spring classes start at SPC on Jan. 9.

Using Focus 2

The career development tool works on all devices; iPhones, droids, tablets, etc.  Go to Student Login on the SPC home page and sign in with your SPC email account and password.  Click on MySPC and then on the My Career tab on the toolbar. Click on Focus 2 and then on “Go to Focus 2.”

This will bring you to the starting point and welcome page for your career planning readiness and academic strengths.  Respond to the questions based upon whether you would enjoy doing the tasks, not whether you actually are doing the task right now.  Once you have completed these two sections, then you will continue to answer the questions in the 5 self assessments comprised of work interest, personality, leisure, values and skills.   The self assessment results help you to match your occupations and majors at SPC to your personal attributes.  You can combine your assessment results to create a list of best fit occupations.  Additionally, you can view the supporting majors at SPC relating to your selected occupations.  All suggested SPC majors and programs listed in Focus 2 have a direct link to SPC’s website.  Take the time to explore all the possibilities available to you in Focus 2.
