Identify Key Tasks

In Step 1 you chose an occupation. In Step 2, you identify key tasks that you need to complete. For example, if the occupation you identified is:

  • medical sonographer - a likely key task would be to complete a medical sonographer program at the post-secondary level
  • visual merchandiser - a key task could be to land a job in the visual display department of a major retailer

Deal With Problems Worksheet

You’ve done a lot of work to decide on an occupation. However, when you least expect them, problems can make it hard for you to reach your goal. Use this worksheet to help you prepare for possible problems that may keep you from reaching your occupational goal.

Typical key tasks include

  • completing a post-secondary program
  • developing new skills
  • buying a piece of equipment
  • finding work in a specific company or industry
  • completing certification requirements
  • moving for school or work

If you can't identify key tasks related to your occupation, research
