LEA for LEARNING
Game for Career gives the highest scores to the areas of greatest need. And so, a higher score here points to how it would help you to learn more about...
what has given you your career ideas and how you can change them.
A lower score here suggests that you have this area more under control. It might be better for you, then, to look in other areas for ideas about how most to develop your planning.
If you have a higher score here read on.
Career learning means building up a mental picture of who does what, what work is like for people, and what you can do about it. In all kinds of ways you have been learning about this since you were a toddler. School or college should also help. But new people and new experiences always mean new learning - and that sometimes means changing your mind.
Making progress here means knowing how to...
- gather enough information on what is going on - in work and in your life;
- sort it into useful order - so you know what’s what;
- bring out your feelings - so that you know what’s important to you;
- work out how these things came to be like this - and what you can do about it.
The important thing here is actively to learn for yourself - not passively to go along with others. But that means being honest with yourself, both about what you believe, and why.
For more help with this, look for at least one of the following...
- schools or colleges which introduce you the working world sooner rather than later;
- learning activity which builds up your career learning over time;
- timetables which give 'slots' of hours or days - so that you can really get to grips with the learning and try it out;
- recording and profiling to help you set down learning, plan for its future use - and to think ahead.
