Why Career Hero?
Career Hero is built around six core modules. Each module applies a lively blend of experiences, explorations , and exercises to address multiple learning styles. The primary goal of each of the first five modules is to provide the information required to produce an effective, realistic and flexible career plan in Module 6 (Strategic Planning).
The entire program consists of 6 x 90-min modules (plus an optional Career Launch module) over 6-9 weeks.
