How do we prepare learners for this future? How do we help them become more resilient and maybe even more entrepreneurial? How do we help them look beyond job titles and job postings? This workshop will explore a variety of reflective tools, by which learners can assess, their skills, workplace motivators, and interests with the intention of improving their employability, and long term employment resilience.

Small group discussion: Reflecting on the self-assessment profile Participants will go back to their first Holland group to discuss how they might use the self-assessment profile in their own practice. How might you adapt and use this self-assessment with your students in your discipline? How might this self-assessment profile support learning in your disciple, department or program?
Recapitulate: Briefly recap the Self-assessment Profile and introduce the handouts, resources and other tools associated with the profile: Employability Skills, Accomplishments, Catalytic Events, Flow, O*Net and Sokanu.
