Job Groups

I am learning to sort jobs into groups - thinking about skills and what might be the best job for you.

Types of jobs

People are all different, they have different interests, skills and abilities. We can sort jobs into groups like:

- indoor

-outdoor

-helping people

-helping animals

-office jobs

-creative jobs

What type of job is for you?

Thinking about what you might like to do when you are older can be stressful. You can focus on what your interests are, what your skills and what level of education you want to have. (going to college for example)

Can you list 2 or 3 jobs where you have to work outdoors?

Which job would you group as an outdoor job?

1. Nurse
2. Teacher
3. Gardener
4. Receptionist

Helping jobs

These jobs would attract people who want to help others. If you like working with others and helping people, these options would be good for you.

What skills do you think a person should have to be good at a helping job?

Outdoor jobs

Helping jobs

What skills do you think a person should have to be good at an outdoor/physical job?

The right job for you

If you struggle to be around people or noisy places, you might have to think about what kind of place of work best suits you. Just because you struggle with certain things, doesn't mean you can't find a job.

If you prefer to work in quiet spaces alone, which job would suit you?

1. Cafe
2. Zoo
3. Builder
4. Computer job

If you like helping people and working with them, which job is best for you?

1. Teaching assistant
2. Barista in a cafe
3. Shop assistant
4. All of the above

If you like working outdoors, which job would suit you?

1. Bin collector
2. Gardener
3. Brick layer
4. All of the above

What kind of job would you like more - indoors outdoors, working with people, working alone, using computers, helping people...
