OC AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION

CAREERS IN PLANNING - SPECIALIZING IN A FOCUS

ISSUE NO. 3 / JUNE 2023

June is a jam packed month that tends to be filled with graduations, and it's an exciting time because it marks the launch of an individual’s career. A lot of the time, this launch from wrapping up high school or college, to establishing oneself in a particular field is not linear. We frequently end up blossoming in something completely different than what we had studied in school - and that’s the most exciting part!


For this month’s OC APA CONVERSATIONS, our featured board members shared what their career journey was like as they established themselves in the planning industry. As you flip through this feature, you’ll find that it’s normal to have a non-linear career path and that it actually makes for an incredible journey.


We hope this issue of CONVERSATIONS (link) leaves you inspired to explore different focuses, technical paths, and specializations in planning. Enjoy!
