Strengths-Based Career Planning

The purpose of the badge is to teach students how to identify and develop their realised strengths, spot their unrealised talents, recognise learned behaviours, and address any important skills for improvement. The badge will also explain and demonstrate the link between the strength-based approach to personal development and student success in university and work environments. Students will learn how a clear understanding of their own unique combination of strengths can help them to identify the roles, sectors and environments in which they are most likely to thrive and succeed. The key components are: - Introducing Strengths and the “Strengths-based” Approach - The Value of Diversity and Uniqueness in the Workplace - Unlocking Your Personal Strengths Profile (Individual Coaching and Structured Peer Support) - Developing Your Realised and Unrealised Strengths through Activities and Experiences - Recognising Learned Behaviours and Weaknesses with Self-Compassion and a Growth Mindset - Communicating Your Strengths and Achievements in Writing, Online and in person - The Strength-based Approach to Career Planning and Career Investigation - The Strengths-based Approach to Recruitment and Selection
