 Grade 12 Career Guidance
Modules
Module 1 – Entering the Exits
This module is designed for use by teachers. It is intended to help users facilitate the career
decision-making of Grade 12 learners especially in choosing curriculum exit before they
graduate from senior high school. The title of Module 1 “Entering the Exits” means entering a
curriculum exit after Grade 12. The learners will have to choose whether he or she will proceed
to college, do business, will look for a job, or will develop the middle-level skills.
The module will help learners identify their interests and personality traits through NCAE that
will help them choose the curriculum exit suited for them. Through this module, Grade 12
learners can determine his/her life and career based on chosen curriculum exit. Lastly, it is
expected that at the end of the module, Grade 12 learners will appreciate chosen life, career and
curriculum exit based on one’s interests and personality type.

Module 2 – Discovering the Cs

Your learners are now another step closer to achieving life and career success!
From the previous module, they were able to identify their curriculum exit. Understanding where
to start their career whether from employment, entrepreneurship, middle-level skills, and higher
education upon graduation will give them better chances of success.
In this module, they will learn the relationship of academic achievement to life and career
success. This will encourage the learners to strive harder under their respective strands and tracks
consequently, improving their academic standing. The module is also designed for learners to
utilize the Labor Market Information (LMI) for various job opportunities. Finally, they will be
able to identify the seven C’s of Lifelong Skills that will prepare them to meet both the
occupational changes and changing individual needs associated with life and career.
So, let us now open the door and explore the C’s of life and career!

Module 3 – The Choice of Choosing

The choice of choosing is an ultimate freedom granted to all human beings. This freedom of
choosing can be best enjoyed to its fullest when practiced with responsibility. The choice of a
profession is one of the lifetime decisions that every individual shall make. Self-introspection
and careful self-analysis can be concrete bases for decision making. This module will provide
you with an avenue to explore within yourself and thus enjoy the benefit and freedom of
responsible choosing.

Module 4 – Myself in Another Person’s Shoes

As the old-aged saying connotes, your role as a teacher is to open doors of possibilities for the
learners under your care. But you must also accept the fact that you cannot let them trudge the
path you want them to take. You cannot decide on their behalf. You cannot force them to chew
the chunks of information you served them. Be as it may, you have a crucial role in preparing
your learners to pack their individual bags and take their own journey toward the realization of
what they envision to become.
This module will help you make your learners realize that their dreams in the future could be
achieved a step closer with the help of people who are in the profession or business that they
envision to be in the future. Your inputs through the different activities that they will undergo
will keep their enthusiasm burning to pursue their career choice.
Continue the learning journey through this module and help your learners affirm more their
desire of becoming who they want to be in the future.

Module 5 – Future Combo, Activate!

“It takes two to tango!”
This cliche emphasizes the need for people to work zealously in tandem with others to make
their endeavors succeed. The same holds true for learners’ career development. While they
consider the personal, academic, and familial factors in their career development, they must
likewise connect their life aspirations to the pressing demands and trends in the local and global
scenario. The word combo, an abbreviated form of the word combination, signifies the
convergence of personal career choices to the actual needs in the labor market and industries.
By doing so, Grade 12 learners are guided to fulfill the vision of the Department of Education,
which expects them to “contribute meaningfully in building the nation.” This also ensures that
learners are able to attain their life and career goals vis-a-vis working for the greater interests of
the country at the macro-level. To help learners clearly determine the direction of their career
choices, mission statements become essential as the baseline of their career plans and actions.
This module intends to facilitate the learners’ ability to make such convergence possible.

Module 6 – Keep Me Balanced!

Values are a fundamental building block of your Mission in Life (Clarke, 2012). Brown (1995)
in her Values-Based Holistic Approach to Career Development third tenets stated that values
play an important role in the career decision-making process of individuals more than their
interests. An individual’s value orientation greatly molds and influences his/her functioning as
this presents the direction to a desired end state and has a central role in setting goals or expected
outcomes. Values also serve as the basis for evaluating one’s own actions and the action of
others, particularly in terms of how the individual and others must function (Villar, 2009).
This module will let our learners identify their possessed values to keep them balanced with
those values shared by their significant others—school, family, and community. They may be
able to know their selves better as they continue navigating vast opportunities in their lifelong
journey.

Module 7 – Version of Me 2.0

This module entitled “Version of Me 2.0” refers to the individual who is discovering the real
Version of Me 2.0, that can be awesome in his/her own way and able to manifest greatness in
pursuing a lifelong career. It is a transition from school to the curriculum exits that the learner
will plan for the future job, that he/she will be productive and persistently sustain in the real
world of work—that’s the real version of me 2.0.
In order to figure out how learners will work with Me 2.0, the learners should understand who
they are and how they function well. This will be a great help to our learners to be aware and be
guided on what they want to become, who they want to be, and know where to begin. What traits
will learners possess that they can be proud of? No matter where the learners are or what
moment they are in, let us take this module and learn things forward together.

Module 8 – Ready to Take Off!

Congratulations, your learners are now ready to create their Lifelong Learning Plan and to
conduct personal and career development activities that will help them grow and advance in their
life and career!
From the previous module, your learners identified the rights and responsibilities of the
employees and employers. They also learned the importance of work values and work ethics in
becoming successful in one’s chosen career, and evaluated extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for
sustainable work satisfaction.
In this final module, you will guide your learners to conduct their career development gap
analysis and develop their lifelong learning plan. Your learners should be aware that their
lifelong learning plan will determine the kind of citizens they will be in the future. They will also
be asked to write their original career philosophy expressing their love and passion in their
chosen career.
Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for exciting and challenging tasks ahead of you!
