The Values & Skills Action Planner combines the best of two great resources; the Values & Skills Assessment Cards, and the Career Activity Planner workbook.  This online report provides far more than results; it is a self-exploration guide to next steps, including identifying transferable skills and setting short and long-term, realistic goals, along possible career pathways.

Clients start by exploring their values by virtually sorting a series of cards listing different work values into three categories:  Strongly Value; Value at Times; and Don’t Value. They then move onto doing the same for a series of cards listing a variety of skills, and placing them into: Like to Do; Would Like to Learn, and Don’t Like to Do categories.

With results from the Values and Skills assessment in hand, clients use the rest of the report as a workbook for:

• Assessing individual attributes and how they relate to employment
• Assessing values: what you don’t value is just as important as what you do value
• Listing transferable skills that can be used in future careers/jobs
• Rediscovering talents and accomplishments
• Looking at life experiences and considering how they have impacted job choices
• Producing a list of employment options
• Creating a concrete plan to enter into a chosen field
• Identifying and working around any barriers
• Developing a plan that will include short- and long-term realistic goals

The report/workbook can be viewed and filled out on a computer, tablet, and other devices, or printed out. Clients can then continuously refer back to, and revise it throughout their career development journey.
