The Three Main Career Paths

Whilst the wellness industry is ripe with opportunity for new and exciting career paths, it can often be a little overwhelming to really know where to start. Equally, it can be difficult to really know exactly what type of opportunities exist for you, and how these might align with your current goals, skills, values, and so on.

With this in mind, we’ve created three additional courses in this ExpertTrack which give you powerful insights into each of the main career paths available to you. These include:

1. The opportunity to become an expert or practitioner in wellness

In this course, you’ll receive an introduction to building this specific type of career, including the types of experts and practitioners that exist (from nutritionist to acupuncturist, and so much more). We talk about building a personal brand, plus expert career paths like going self-employed or how to find a job as a practitioner. You’ll get an understanding of the different models for growing a business as an expert or practitioner in wellness and how to really find your niche.

2. The opportunity to launch and grow a business in wellness

In this course, you’ll receive an introduction to start-ups in wellness and how to identify business opportunities in wellness (be that a product or a service). You’ll learn how to ensure your business solves real problems, and the importance of having a vision and setting clear goals! We cover the basics of business planning, including how to finance your idea, build a passionate team, and market your wellness brand. You’ll get access to a host of case studies from leading entrepreneurs who are paving the way for you in wellness.

3. And finally, the opportunity to find a job in the wellness industry

In this course, you’ll get a sense of the many different job opportunities that exist in the wellness industry, working for incredible brands and organisations that are purpose-led and aligned with your values. We’ll teach you how to understand the ways in which your personal values can define your job criteria, and how you might apply the existing skills you have to make the transition into wellness easier! This includes exercises to help you evaluate your skills and audit your career so that you can establish what a meaningful, purposeful career means to you! There are lots of practical learnings in this course that will leave you with a full career transition toolkit to lean on.

Whichever path you choose, remember that it doesn’t always have to be linear. Some people start their career in wellness by finding a great job working for an existing company, whilst at the same time training to become a practitioner on the side. Or, you might start training in a particular area of expertise, whilst at the same time launching and growing a business. The sky is the limit.
