Values-Based Assessments

Values, the ideas held most closely to a person, are formed in a variety of ways including life experiences, feelings, and families. In the context of career planning, values generally refer to the things people value in a career. For example, some people value job security, money, structure, and a regular schedule. Others value flexibility, excitement, independence, and variety. Students who are aware of their values are more likely to choose a career that is in-line with their long-term needs and desires.
