Five Stages of the Career Development Process
The Duke Career Development Process and accompanying skills require ongoing reflection and adaptability. At times, you might feel uncertain of next steps or what path to choose and should remain flexible–considering circumstances not within your control.
Identify patterns and narrow options by eliminating those that don’t align with your life.
The eight competencies identified as cornerstones of career readiness by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) will be developed through your academic, co-curricular and experiential learning pursuits at Duke.
The process is iterative and a self-serve tool to guide you in developing viable options unique to you, wherever you find yourself in the journey. We encourage you to reach out to a career adviser and any of your mentors for support when you are ready.
You don’t have to travel this path alone.
