My Vault: Planning for work

Learn about each of My Vault's Work activities:

My Profile: Work

This activity lets you answer three questions to make a one-page profile that can be used to give people an at-a-glance way to know what really matters to you. You can also upload a photo to show who you are, if you’d like. Use the profile to list your strengths and interests, what's important to you, and the best ways to offer support.

Do this activity when you want a quick way for people to get to know you and understand what’s important to you.

Edit and update
If what’s important to you changes, come back to this activity and update your profile.

My Resources and Supports: Work

This activity lets you list what you have and what you need to reach your work goal. You’ll need to think about a goal or a problem you’re trying to solve—it can be general like, “Know my supports,” or it can be more specific like, “How I'll get to work.” Then answer the questions in five key areas, first listing the resources you HAVE, then listing the resources you NEED. When you’re done, your answers will be shown in a visual called the Integrated Supports Star. You will have one Star to show the things you have, and another to show the things you need.

Do this activity when you need to solve a problem, come up with ideas, and help move toward your goal.

My Vision: Work

This activity lets you list what you want and don't want in your work. It helps you build your vision for the job or career you want and identify steps to get there. When you’re done, your answers will be shown in a visual called the Life Trajectory.

Do this activity when you need to think about what you want and don’t want in a job and to help stay on track with moving toward your work goal.

Build My Team: Work
