Career planning

Turn an opportunity into a practical next step: identify the skills it uses, build evidence of those skills, and connect that experience to your goals.

• Choose a direction to explore, such as data, design, public health, research, or program delivery.
• Review several relevant jobs, internships, and training opportunities; note the skills that appear repeatedly.
• Pick one skill to strengthen and practise it through a course, project, volunteer role, or internship.
• Save a concrete example of your work and describe what you did, the tools you used, and the result.
• Use the example in your CV or application, and check each opportunity’s official page for current requirements.
