Intro Unit Workforce Readiness
This document provides information about connecting personality types to career clusters. It discusses John Holland's theory that people are happier in careers that match their personality types. The document then defines six main personality types (Doer, Thinker, Creator, Helper, Persuader, Organizer) and provides descriptions and examples of careers that may match each type. Later sections guide students through identifying their own personality traits, interests, skills and choosing a career to research based on their identified personality type. It also provides instructions for creating graphs to display career data from websites like Salary.com.
