BAF Diploma - Unit 7 Success at Work

Good morning year 11

The aim of this unit 'Me and my future' is to help you achieve your personal financial and career goals.  To achieve this unit you will:

• understand the financial benefits of employment and the requirements to secure and retain employment
• be able to research information on personal financial requirements
• to be able to prepare for and take part in an interview for a job
• to be able to plan and achieve your own career goals.

The first assessment will require you to make a short powerpoint presentation about yourself.  To get to know yourself better I have created several activity tests and subscribed to software packages for you to

1. Connexions Kudos - online
2. Skills audit - written
3. Personality test - online
4. Self appraisal

PLTS passport evidence -  Independent enquiry & effective participants

As we only have two lessons a week anything that you dont manage to get done will need to be completed as homework.  Completed activities can be saved to your user area in a folder titled Unit 7 Success at work or printed out and kept in your class notes folder.
I hope you enjoy this unit as much as I enjoy delivering it.

Homework

Using the information from the above four activities and use it to create a PowerPoint presentation about yourselves and email it to me at TThompson@oxfordspiresacademy.org before our nexct lesson next on Friday 16th September 2011.

I hope you enjoy this unit as much as I enjoy delivering it.

Best wishes and good luck

Mr T
