Exploring and Understanding Strengths, Interests and Values
● When students know their own Strengths, Interests and Values, they can make connections to a variety of careers
● Completing an interest profile or inventory can help students better understand what careers will work for them.
Resources connecting interests to career● www.cacareerzone.org/assessments
○ “Interest Profiler” ○ “Work Importance Profiler”

Students should reflect on “who they are, what they want from life, what they enjoy doing and what their values are. It’s then
matching that with realistic opportunities out there.” -Tim Reed, Univ. of Kent
What you love
Connecting Academic Content to Careers
● In order to know if you LOVE something, you need to experience a lot - this means students need career exposure in every class
○ Contextualized Learning○ Integrated Curriculum○ Career Exploration○ Project Based Learning○ Career Pathways
Resources: ● Career Integration Resources● Counselor Resources
Instead of asking students what they want to “be” when
they grow up, ask them what problem they want to
solve. Then help them find a career that
helps to solve that problem.
What you love
Exposure to the World of Work
To help students determine what they love they need to see a variety of career options.
Awareness activities■ Guest speakers■ Career fairs ■ Industry panels ad ■ Company tours
Watch videos highlighting career opportunities that might resonate with students.
