Este MOOC fue diseñado como un espacio de reflexión orientada para la construcción de decisiones informadas; está dirigido a jóvenes que transiten por la incertidumbre que genera la toma de decisión de carrera al estar próximos a finalizar o haber finalizado el colegio.

Encontrarás actividades dinámicas y prácticas de autoconocimiento, que guiarán el análisis de las creencias, deseos y expectativas, competencias y habilidades, y la proyección, que faciliten las mejores decisiones sobre la trayectoria educativa que se decida tras conocer, conocerse y dirigirse al éxito.
