In the Planning Paths area of your My Vault account, you'll find a Work Path called "How can I plan for work?" where you can build a plan for work, map the resources you have and those you need to help, and tell others what matters to you.

This activity lets you answer three questions to make a one-page profile that can be used to give people an at-a-glance way to know what really matters to you. You can also upload a photo to show who you are, if you’d like. Use the profile to list your strengths and interests, what's important to you, and the best ways to offer support.
Do this activity when you want a quick way for people to get to know you and understand what’s important to you.

This activity lets you list what you have and what you need to reach your work goal. You’ll need to think about a goal or a problem you’re trying to solve—it can be general like, “Know my supports,” or it can be more specific like, “How I'll get to work.” Then answer the questions in five key areas, first listing the resources you HAVE, then listing the resources you NEED. When you’re done, your answers will be shown in a visual called the Integrated Supports Star. You will have one Star to show the things you have, and another to show the things you need.
Do this activity when you need to solve a problem, come up with ideas, and help move toward your goal.

Once you’ve finished the Work path activities that make sense for you, you’ll have a full Planning for Work report that includes the PDFs from each activity you’ve completed. You can look at your report to see all of your activities in one place, and review your results as you plan for work. You can also share your report with others so they can see your goals and help you plan.
