1. Welcome to FYE
Go Bellevue Bulldogs!

2. Why FYE?
Research at BC shows that those who actually complete FYE are more successful than those who don’t.
FYE is an opportunity to obtain one college-level credit in an environment where you can learn more about Bellevue College and yourself.

4. Brainstorm some goals for both on page 4 of your manual.
Goal Setting
 Setting a goal is very useful, even if the results are not what you had intended. Goals help you decide what you want and how you are going to get there.
Goals are specific, attainable, and something that you want. They can be short term, long term, whatever.
Think about what you’d like to get out of
Your FYE experience and
Your Bellevue College experience.
Brainstorm some goals for both on page 4 of your manual.

12. Video Clip: George Picks a Career
Career Exploration
Intro:
Video Clip: George Picks a Career
Holland Code Exercise

13. Career and Advising Presentation
This will take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes
After the students do the Holland Code assessment, have them sit in groups by the following major areas:
Business
STEM
Health
Social Science
Arts and Humanities
Some students will be unsure where to sit – if they are undecided have them pick an area of interest, if they aren’t sure where certain professions fall, please help guide them

14. Career Skills
In your groups, take 20 minutes and create a list of the skills you think you need to work in your chosen area
Also list some jobs or careers that you think are part of this area
Please list these on the board or poster paper
You will share your results with the larger group after this is completed
Allow students to use computers and phones to look things up. Have them write the skills on one side (split down the middle) of the poster paper and the careers on the other side. As a group, they can present their major area to the rest of the class.

15. Online Tools WOIS – careers, degrees, job outlook http://www.wois.org/
Connect – job and internship search board
Indeed – job search…check out requirements
Show students how to use WOIS by using an example career – be sure to show them the job outlook and pay scale section. Please show them the homepage for Connect! And encourage them to set up an account – this is where all of the jobs, internships, and work study positions are located. Show them an example of how to use job search engines like Indeed to find out what is required in order to obtain a position. You can use the same sample career from WOIS and show them the desired and minimum qualifications – this is a great way to find up to date information on what skills are needed to be competitive in a particular field or position.

17. Academic Advising Types of degrees and programs offered at BC:
Certificates
Professional technical degrees
Associates
Bachelors of Applied Science
Transfer Associates degrees
Direct Transfer Agreement
Science Track I
Science Track II
Major Ready Programs
Key is to clarify the difference between transfer degrees and prof/tech so they understand that not all credits transfer. You might ask a few students in different major areas what they are interested in majoring in or doing and then show them the degree plans. Or you could show a prof/tech plan and contrast that with the DTA.

18. Researching Transfer Options
Find schools you are interested in
Look at their websites
Look for the program that interests your or connects with your career goals
Look at the program prerequisites and transfer requirements
Example
Contact advisors in the program regarding transferring and prerequisites
Remember – it is important to do this sooner rather than later to avoid additional credits and quarters
Show students how to find programs and look for prerequisites. Ask 1-2 students for either a school, program, degree, or career and look up that website and show them how to find the advisor names and the prerequisites.

19. Academic Advising Meet with an advisor!

Questions?
Show them the tools on the BC website, if you haven’t already used them.

20. Career Path Create your own career path
1 – start with your long term goal job goal
2 – draw where you are now (starting at BC)
3 – include the degree you need to complete at BC
4 – if you are planning on transferring, draw the school you wish to attend
5 – fill in the steps you need to get from BC to your long-term goal
Consider including:
Key courses
Internships
Part-time jobs
Research options
Share with your partner
Give them minutes to complete this individually, although they can talk in groups. The idea is for the student to start figuring out what they want to do and how to get there. IF the student doesn’t know the career yet, have them start with BC and go as far as they can in the map. Encourage students to write down their dream job, even if it doesn’t exist or seems like a “long shot” – now is not the time to worry about that, but instead the time to start planning and figuring out options. It can be helpful to show them an example so please consider using your own career path as an example you draw on the board. It helps them to see that not all careers are linear and to see all of the different things that have to be considered and/or included to achieve one’s goal.
