Goals
The goal of this assignment is to learn more about the industry (e.g., accounting, business, policing, hairstyling, etc.) in which you are seeking a career, or one that you are interested in learning more about. You will apply Internet research skills to find the content for a report in which you analyze your findings.
Requirements
You will complete an industry analysis report for your chosen career path/field of interest. The report should be no more than 2000 words, single-spaced, 12" font excluding citations. Separate your report into sections and sub-sections using headings. APA style must be used to complete your in-text citations and reference sources. You may select a different career/industry to explore from your Career Objectives Report
The report must include:
An introduction that provides an overview of the chosen industry and states the report objective.
A discussion section separated into appropriate sub-sections with research findings describing the industry, identifying labour market informationand presenting an environmental scan. (Labour Market information includes job prospects, wages, etc. The point of an environmental scan is to do an analysis of the industry using a tool such as a PESTLE or SWOT, and apply it to your future position/place within that industry. The point is to consider what the research means for you and your career objectives. You may need to research examples in order to determine the relevant information to include in your own report.) This is NOT a copy and paste exercise. Analysis of findings is required.
A summary that synthesizes your findings and relates them to your career objectives
Note: Focus solely on Canadian statistics and information (unless you are a dual citizen or planning to live in the United States immediately upon graduation). Canadian government websites are particularly useful when researching Canadian labour market information.
