Introduction
Welcome to the Career Guidance & Work Readiness Transition Program! WeLive Foundation has created this workbook to help you explore who you are, understand the world of work, and build a clear, realistic plan for your education and career after leaving the Children's Care Institution (CCI).
Growing up and stepping into independent life can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing a career path. This workbook breaks that journey into six simple, easy-to-follow sessions, from discovering your interests and personality, to mapping realistic education pathways, building a support system, and finally preparing for job interviews and real-world action. Each session builds on the one before it, so it is important to complete them in order.
There are no right or wrong answers in this workbook. It is a space for you to reflect honestly, dream big, and also plan practically with backup options ,because every strong plan needs a Plan B and a Plan C. We hope this workbook helps you feel more confident, informed, and ready to take charge of your future.
