Career Values Deck (physical card sort)

Career Values Deck offers adults and youth ages 13+ the opportunity to identify their career and work-life balance values, and gets them in the habit of making career choices based on those values as they explore and build their career. 

This simple, hands on activity is designed to help users think about building a career that fits with who they are and what they want their work-life balance to look like moving forward. It considers career values from a holistic perspective, and incorporates values that speak not just to their career and occupational health, but to their wellbeing as a whole. 

This tool includes 45 career and work-life balance values, which are ranked on importance. It also includes an downloadable/printable guide that walks the user through a series of self-reflection questions to help them:

• reflect upon the meaning and importance of their top values
• determine their own definition of "success"
• get curious about and explore career ideas that align with their values
• set up meaningful conversations and informational interviews with people who can help them learn more about different careers
