Below you will find links to 3 resources, to facilitate a session on creating a CICO Profile, enabling young people to identify their motivations for work.
CICO ® is a specially designed profiling tool that enables a young person from the age of 12 to identify their core interests and career orientation, helping to inform their career decisions from the very first decision they need to make. CICO ® was developed by Talentino’s Founder based on a model she discovered during a course at Harvard Business School which identified the basis of making choices that make you happy in your career. Used by young people for ten years in a card-based format, it is now available as an App. CICO can engage learners in thinking through their futures in a positive light through meaningful information and support.
