Career Life Project Presentation

Curricular Reflection

My career-life goal is to graduate high school and get into Vancouver Community College’s hairstylist apprenticeship program. To lead to success as a hairstylist, I would like to get a Red Seal certificate to work around the world. My personal growth is to keep up with time for my assignment. Scheduling and managing time for things well and clearly. It would help me later in the future, if I became a hairstylist I would need to manage my time with appointments with customers. My initial plan for my career pathway is to join many programs relating to hairstylists in grade 11 or 12 to get an experience earlier. Joining programs can help me lead a step closer to becoming a hairstylist.

Core Competency Reflection

Personal Awareness & Responsibility

I can identify my strengths and limits, find internal motivation, and act on opportunities for self-growth. I take responsibility for making ethical decisions. Doing research depends on my strength or what will work out for me. Like, I looked at jobs, especially in trades because I prefer working with my hand, rather than my brain.

I understand how my values shape my choices. I learned that it is best to look for a job, which is your passion or values. I chose hairstylist as my career because hair is something important and to feel happy about.

Critical Thinking and Reflective Thinking

I can use evidence to make simple judgments. In this project we did a lot of research on our jobs. It helped me gather information to find a path or ways I can become a hairstylist. Gathering evidence/information and making judgment or decision of the path, which will lead toward success of becoming a hairstylist.

I can ask questions and consider options. I can use my observations, experience, and imagination to draw conclusions and make judgments. I demonstrated asking the teacher questions about the detail programs. I can explore and gather information to share accurate material with others.

I can initiate actions that bring me joy and satisfaction and recognize that I play a role in my well-being.

My goal for this, “I can statement,” is to be able to understand that every action will affect something and hope for a satisfactory decision. I push my work aside most of the time which leads to me struggling and stressing about work. I would have to be able to manage my time, reflect on my actions, and make a way for me that can help make me feel better about it and satisfied.
