Description
Donald Super’s life-career rainbow focuses on how a person’s occupational self-concept is developed, applied, and revised. The dimensions included on the rainbow depict how people navigate their careers over their lifespan. Using the drawing tools in Word, create your own life-career rainbow. For guidance, refer to “The Life Career Rainbow: Finding a Work-Life Balance that Suits You,” located in the Topic Study Materials. Be sure to include the following:
- Your age and accompanying roles you occupied over your lifespan to date (e.g., student, worker)
- Roles you predict for your occupational future (e.g., parent, leisurite)
- Your current life stage according to Donald Super’s taxonomy (e.g., establishment, maintenance)
- Situational, personal, and environmental determinants that affect your occupational direction (e.g., social class, labor market)
