P1 Identifying and explaining the sources of information, their purposes and sources
Career-related information can be obtained from various sources like web-based, written
and multimedia. I want to make my career in architecture and I can take the information from
various sources like job centres, career advice and services, newspaper articles, job
advertisements and university and college prospectus. The purpose of the sources is to get the
information regarding a career in architecture that will help me to get information and
knowledge. Sometimes, verbal information from friends and near ones is precious regarding
career.
Job centres:
The purpose of job centres is to give employment support for the individuals who want to
make a career in different fields. Sometimes government itself makes department to help the job
seekers to get their desirable jobs. In Britain, people can get advice about a career from job
centres and candidates can look advertisements for employment.
Career services and advice:
Job-related websites provide career advice to the job seekers and these job portals also
provide career advancement guide. Career advice or services have a separate section for each
different types of career and candidates can seek help from this. In Architecture, these types of
career advice help me to have career direction.

Leong (2014), most of the universities have both online and offline prospectus and both for
undergraduate and post-graduate students.
