Or yu can intrduce the lessn withut the vide by describing the tpic and activity. 2. Explain that identifying and understanding persnal wrk values is a very imprtant part f deciding what career t pursue because wrk values are yur beliefs abut what is right r wrng, desirable r undesirable, ethical r unethical, etc. Because values are an imprtant part f wh yu are, it is imprtant t take them int cnsideratin when career planning. Nt including yur values in career planning means yu run the risk f preparing fr a career which yu subsequently find ut desn t suit yu. 3. Explain that tday yu will be fcusing n six imprtant wrk values which are Achievement, Independence, Recgnitin, Relatinships, Supprt, and Wrking Cnditins. 4. Intrduce the Wrk Imprtance Prfiler by telling students it will help them discver which wrk values are mst imprtant t them. Demnstrate hw t cmplete the WIP by ging t the CareerZne (link in Materials sectin) and taking the necessary actins n the first page.

Ask students t share their highest values and the crrespnding jbs that matched thse values. Were there any surprises in terms f which values came ut the highest r which jbs were identified as a ptential match? 8. Wrap Up. Explain t students that they may have never thught abut their values (what yu believe) as being imprtant in career planning (what they plan t d) but the cnnectin between the tw is critical. Instruct students t use what they ve learned t find the best pssible career fr them. 9. Remind students t put their wrksheet int their career prtflis.
