Traditional CV focuses a lot on academic qualifications, while CV360® focuses on youths’ “paid” and “unpaid” experience which allows them to showcase their strengths from different angles. By exploring their own VASK (Values, Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge) with this tool, youths would understand more about themselves and present to the others.

Practitioners could make use of this tool to help youths to consolidate their life experience from time to time. Through reviewing their CLD journey, youths could see what they have learnt and explore multiple pathways.

The card sort was designed to support youths to explore their own VASK (Values, Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge) through reviewing ENOW experiences. It helps youths to understand themselves more and facilitates the discussion about their career and life development.

Practitioners could make use of this tool to encourage youths to appreciate themselves and inspire them to transfer their own VASK to different roles within their careers and daily lives, including learning career, leisure career and vocational career.
