FSA : Goals and Aspirations

FSA : Goals and Aspirations

Module Description:

Aspirations are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life. The FSA’s Aspirations and Career workshop helps students think about their own aspirations and how to apply them to a career in the future. The workshop features fun, interactive exercises to get students involved and to start thinking about what they want to do in the future. The workshop also helps students to think about possible careers and the path they will need to take to get there – the fundamental element being that the key to making your aspirations reality is ambition and drive.
