CLASS DESCRIPTION

Work 2: Mapping Your Career Path is a four-session course designed to support neurodivergent adults in gaining clarity, direction, and confidence in their career journeys. Through inclusive instruction and practical tools, this course helps participants identify potential career paths, build essential professional skills, and take actionable steps toward employment success. Whether exploring new opportunities or refining existing goals, learners will be guided through a structured process of self-discovery, planning, and real-world preparation.

Participants will:

• Define what a career path is and explore different types of movement within industries, including upward and lateral opportunities.
• Identify their job task preferences and begin aligning those interests with long-term career goals using self-reflective exercises and guided worksheets.
• Learn how to build and expand their professional networks by understanding degrees of connection and practicing networking strategies.
• Explore the value of mentorship, identify a potential mentor, and practice outreach and communication to build supportive career relationships.
• Create a personal career flowchart and write a short-term employment goal that reflects their interests, strengths, and aspirations.

By the end of the course, participants will have developed a personalized career plan, engaged with professional contact, and completed a short-term goal to support their next steps. This course provides a supportive, low-pressure environment that encourages self-advocacy, personal growth, and long-term planning tailored to the unique strengths and needs of adults with autism.
