Personal plan, sheet and professiogram

To prepare a career plan as a report, this order is followed: the sequence of work to be done; how it is interconnected; the deadline for each; a detailed account by stages of work; conclusions; a list of sources used; and a presentation. The report can be based on a personal plan or a professiogram. A professiogram is a description of an occupation: it gives the name of the occupation, its importance in the economy, the type of labour (manual, mechanised or automated), the subject and product of labour, the knowledge and skill needed, workplace and conditions, work and rest schedule, medical obstacles, demands on personal qualities, the effect of the job on the person, ways to study (after grade 9: grades 10–11, a vocational school, a college or technical school, then higher education), growth prospects and related occupations. For example, a setter of machine tools and automatic lines: prepares equipment for a given product, runs a test part and finds and corrects deviations; needs high technical knowledge, logical and creative thinking and visual memory; works at machine-building and metalworking enterprises; a related occupation is the operator of programmed machines. In the defence the student briefly presents the report, answers questions and speaks in the round-table “The occupation I chose”. Setter’s and other enterprise work may be seen only with the teacher, with permission and in protective equipment; practising on your own at home is dangerous.
