~~After you completed~~ the ~~basic tutorial Aura will send you to the so called~~ [[~~Tutorial and Career Agents in EVE~~|career agents]]. These are 5 ~~agents~~ that will introduce you to the archetypes of things you can do ~~for a living~~. They will teach you ~~everything~~ you ~~need~~ to ~~know~~ to ~~start your career~~ in ~~EVE~~. They will also provide a generous amount of ships, modules, skill books and ISK. In addition ~~the last~~ mission ~~of every career~~ agent ~~is a story-line mission. That means~~ you will ~~get~~ a ~~lot of standing~~ with the faction of that agent~~. It~~ is ~~therefore highly recommended to do all missions they offer~~. ~~Completing at least one set~~ of 5 ~~career~~ agents ~~is compulsory if~~ you ~~want~~ to ~~join E~~-~~Uni~~. ~~Since their rewards are better than what~~ you will find on your ~~typical Level 1 mission while taking less time,~~ you ~~should consider doing all 3 sets of career~~ agents ~~for~~ your ~~faction~~. ~~This~~ will give you a ~~lot~~ of ~~standing~~ and ~~ISK~~ right ~~from the start~~.

Many new player find that the [[Tutorials_-_Opportunities_and_Career_Agents_in_EVE_Online|career agents]] to be very beneficial to run. These are 5 agent types (offering Industry, Business, Exploration, Military, Advanced Military) that will introduce you to mainly the more basic PvE archetypes of things you can do in EVE Online. They will teach you some good basics to help you get started in EVE Online, but keep in mind that they only cover some aspects and virtually nothing for PvP. You can do these in any order you wish, but it is recommended that you complete the Military chain prior to taking on the Advanced Military chain. There is far more to get involved in other than what these agents will initially expose you to. They will also provide a generous amount of ships, modules, skill books and ISK. In addition by completing an complete mission chain for a given agent you will earn a good boost in standings with the faction that the agent is part of. Each empire faction (Amarr, Caldari, Gallente, and Minmatar) will have 3 sets of 5 agents available. Once you complete an agent's chain of missions that agent will no longer be available to you, however, you can go to another agent that offers the same chain with any faction. This means you can complete each chain 12 times (3 agents offering per faction, 4 factions). Should you run into problems where you are mid-chain such as declining the agent (which will prevent you from progressing further with that agent) or any technical glitches you can open a support ticket and usually a GM will reset the mission or even the agent for you.

As you complete these you will find that you will complete many of the Opportunities.

To access and locate these Career Agents simply open your Help menu in-game (F12, or click on the "?" icon in your NeoCom) and look for the section called "Career Advancement" on the Support tab. Click on the button "Show Career Agents". This will open another window which will present you with the 5 closest Career agents to your current location. You will see at the bottom right of each agent's box, a button labeled "Set Destination" and this will plot and give you a route to follow to get to the system and station where that agent is at. If you've just started out then this location is most likely within 2 jumps from your current location. The Career Agents are grouped in their sets of 5 in one station in the same system.

As a side note, you can always right-click on an NPC agent's name (as a link), solar system name (as a link), and station's name (as a link) to bring up an contextual menu with a option to "Set Destination" to. You can recognize the names as being a link as long as they are either bold white or orange, and you can click on them. As you mouse over these there will be an arrow-like icon appear to the lower right of your cursor.
