Background gives a person beliefs and values. They belong to your roots: what you have taken from your neighbourhood and religious or ethnic groups. These beliefs and values are often expressed in stories and music, and in what you feel is worthwhile in the media. Sometimes they have to do with race, class and gender - which can raise big issues in working life.
Making progress here means being able to work out...
- what beliefs and values you must respect and will hold to;
- what you can let go;
- how you will move on.
Beliefs and values are important in working life - especially where they link to your viewpoint on being a citizen, the environment, ethnicity, gender, the global community, race, religion or social class.
For more help with this, look for at least one of the following...
- teachers and advisers who understand the strengths of your background - and also how you need to move on;
- visits and projects which show you new places, people and beliefs;
- careers education which helps people to appreciate the importance of values and beliefs at work;
- recording and profiling to help you reflect on old and new experiences and to say what you will keep, and how you will move on.
