Ten or 20 years ago, "planning your life's career" meant just that. People tended to learn a relatively narrow set of skills and "settle in" to a professional life with a simple career path and one or two employers. Today, this traditional employment model still exists, but a current professional career might also involve multiple employment relationships, participation in a "virtual" organization, self-employment, or pursuit of many types of jobs during one's lifetime. The career brochure expains how broad education and technical skills can help you to meet the challenges and reap the tremendous opportunities of an information-based global economy.
