Career Anchor

A career anchor is an integration of perceived competencies associated with professional work decisions. This is how an individual views his strengths, interests, and values in relation to making career choices. It is beneficial to identify major themes regarding preferences and competencies in order to make the most appropriate career path. For instance, a student who is significantly anchored with service may most probably do well in humanitarian-related occupations, human resource positions, and other service-oriented vocations.
