WELCOME TO THE WORK IMPORTANCE LOCATOR

The Work Importance Locator can help you learn more about your work values and help you decide what is important to you in a job. It does this by asking you to rank different aspects of work that represent six important work values. Knowing your work values can help you decide what kinds of jobs and careers you might want to explore.

When you complete the Locator, you will get scores for six work values. These scores indicate how important each of the work values is to you. In addition to your scores, you will receive a list of occupations that are linked with your work values. This list can help you explore career options. The more a job agrees with your work values, the more likely you are to be satisfied in that job.
