My Strength Profile Presentation
Complete the following assignment and submit your work to your teacher.
Now that you have completed Assignment 2, you will use that information to write a
profile of your strengths with regard to your learning skills and work habits.
For example, based on the checklist, what are your strongest areas? Can you think of
examples or direct and specific evidence, to support these results? For example, if you
have strong collaborative skills, have you demonstrated that by working on a group
project – perhaps in raising funds for a charity event or by being part of a school team?
Alternatively, what areas did you find to be your weakest? Can you think of the next
steps you might take to improve in those areas? For example, if you are weak in
organization skills, will using an agenda help solve or lessen your difficulties in that
particular skill area?
Ultimately, what you want to discern is what learning skills and work habits you currently
have that would be easily transferrable to several career pathways. You also want to
learn the learning skills and work habits you need to improve upon to grant you the
necessary flexibility if your career pathway should change.
Your Strength Profile should be approximately 150 – 200 words in length (three to four
slides), but confer with your teacher for specific details.

work situations. My strongest and most important essential skills and work habits are…
