Aims
A vocational profile is a way of gathering information that is specifically related to work and supporting someone to find a job. It is about taking a person-centred approach to finding out what a young person wants to do and provides an opportunity to understand what a person is interested in and to explore why and to get the best match of a job for them. The aim of this session is to help professionals to become more confident in working with young people to develop vocational profiles.
