Getting Started
How GPS LifePlan Works
The GPS LifePlan is designed to be an individualized program which provides a structure for you to define your goals and establish plans to meet those goals. You may work on one area at a time or may be exploring multiple areas simultaneously. There is no starting or ending place; you can determine which areas ares are most important for your needs. The arrows on the home page and the horizontal menu across the top guides you to the content in each of the 5 areas of the GPS LifePlan. Once you are in the Career, Education, Finance, Leadership, or Personal areas of the GPS LifePlan, the menu on the left-hand side will guide you through the topics of that area.
