Queen’s College Career & Life Planning Education Team

What is Career & life Planning?

It is an ongoing and lifelong process for personal fulfillment, 

with different foci at different stages of one’s life.

CLP is not merely a remedial or advisory service for students 

when they need to make subject or career choices.

It helps foster students’ self‐understanding, personal 

planning, goal setting and reflective thinking.
