Vocationing: The process of identifying personal and vocational interests through strategic outreach, professional mentoring, experimentation, and a hands-on "test drive" of one's dream job. This personal and professional due diligence process empowers "vocationers" with insights to determine the how, when, or if they are ready to turn their passions into careers. Many people are afraid to follow their dream job, but vocationing allows them to experiment with it on a temporary basis which can help determine whether that dream job is something that is viable, or if it is actually something that is a passing fancy or even a hobby, rather than a career. Mentoring is not a new concept; from the middle ages, apprentices worked with masters to learn the art of their crafts. However, this is a new twist with mentoring, in a society where drastic career changes often do not provide a safe environment for vocational experimentation.
