"Applications of Values & Type in Career Development"

Come update the tools, activities, and interventions you use in your career development work!  This creative, interactive, and introspective workshop focuses on new applications of career values and personality type to the career development needs of your clients and students.

Part I:  Career Values Trump Everything

Because career values have their origin in culture, family, and other powerful factors, they often "trump"  all else --including personality, interests, and skills!  As a result, a solid understanding of career values can provide the necessary framework for the career planning process. 

Come learn a variety of activities, tools, and techniques you can use in your career development work, including:

• Indentifying core career values using non-assessment activities
• Using the just-released third edition Kerwin Values Survey® card sort to identify motivating career values 
• Applying career values as a filter for interests, personality, and skills information
• Assessing the congruence of career values with existing work or potential career options
• Using career values knowledge to initiate work and career development action plans

Part II:  Taking Type To Work

From writing emails to exploring career options, we “take our type to work” every day!  A deeper knowledge of type and its impact on work can be a valuable tool for facilitating the career development process, as well as for understanding behaviors in the workplace.  Come discover various applications of type to issues of career development, including: 

• The eight preferences and their use in assessing work satisfaction
• The essential role the four function pairs play in career choice
• How the dominant and auxiliary functions impact career motivations
• The effect of type development on “second-half of life” career decisions
• Type-related “blind spots” and how to address them 
• The effect of type on emails
