Develop Identity... "Who Are You?"
Strengths, Interests, and Workplace Values
The evidence behind recognized Developmental Career Theories supports the idea that individuals should engage in a wide range of activities that help them identify and think about their strengths, interest and values. Individuals benefit from repeated exercises of inventories, surveys, journaling, and the discussing of their aspirations as an important element of career learning. Our Develop Identity activities systematically help individuals develop a sense of self for their present and future.
