  1. Introductory speech by the class teacher.

Today we meet again to talk about your future.

Do you want to be happy?

People have been looking for a formula for happiness for a long time. One of these formulas is:« Happy is he who goes to work with pleasure in the morning and returns home with joy in the evening.”

You can cut a loaf of bread in half and each half will remain as tasty as the whole bread, only it will be half as much. But if someone at home is doing well, but at work somehow or completely bad, half the happiness will not work.Half of happiness is already unhappiness.

- That is why it is so important to choose the right profession.

3. Choosing a profession is a serious matter!

What do you think influences the choice of profession? Let's try to phrase"choice of profession"pick factors.

On the slide: “choosing a profession - abilities, - state of health, - advice from parents, - interests of friends, - professions of loved ones, - remuneration."

Of course, other factors also influence the choice of profession. But, in general, in order to make the right conscious choice of profession, and not make mistakes in the future, it is necessary, first of all, to study yourself, your abilities, and opportunities.

Tell me, people of what professions start their day early in the morning?(Children's answers.)

The driver does not like to sleep for a long time,

A little light the driver gets up.

He hurries to his car

To start the engine.

Everywhere the affairs of the driver are waiting -

To all ends of the Earth!

He is ready to carry bricks,

For cities to grow.

The dawn barely dawned -

The baker got up

So that you are a rosy kalach

I could enjoy.

Ask the sun and earth

Ask fast rivers:

"Who starts a new day?"

Worker!

- And what professions are people working at a time when you are fast asleep?(Children's answers.)

The world of professions is huge, there are more than 50 thousand of them, and about five hundred new ones appear every year and the same number disappear or change. This is due to the rapid development of science and information technologies. Recently, many professions that require hard physical labor have disappeared. But the profession of "cosmonaut" has existed for only 40 years, but along with this, such as "designer", "marketer", "brand manager", "image maker", "merchandiser", "realtor" and others have recently appeared.(Slide.)

The word "profession" comes from two Latin words: "professio" - an officially specified occupation, specialty and "profiteоr" - I declare my business.

Profession - a kind of labor activity that requires a certain preparation and is usually a source of livelihood.

Speciality - type of occupation within the same profession.

Position official duty, office space. For instance: profession-teacher, specialty-teacher of mathematics, teacher primary school and etc.

Qualification - the level of professionalism.(Slide.)

Guys, what do you call a person who knows his job well and masterfully performs it?(Slide - professional.)

- What qualities should a professional have?(High efficiency, diligence, responsibility, organization, discipline.)

And what do you think will happen if all the dairies of the world suddenly increase their output, and all the stores are filled with milk, sour cream, yogurt?(These products will be very difficult to sell, they will begin to deteriorate, disappear, which means that someone's labor, money, profit will be lost).

The same is true in the labor market. If some specialists produce more than necessary, they cannot find a job, unemployment sets in. Profession, specialty, qualification - this is what a person sells on the labor market. From time to time, some professions become very necessary, prestigious, and some become a thing of the past.

Task number 1. "ABC of professions"

I suggest that you make lists of professions: 1 - "professions that are always needed" (doctor, teacher, cook, livestock breeder, accountant ...), 2 - "the most courageous professions" (stuntman, fireman, astronaut, miner, test pilot ...) , 3 - "the most fashionable specialties" (president, journalist, TV presenter, top model, lawyer ...), 4 - "the most forgotten professions"(coachman, chimney sweep, groom, valet, cooper ...).(Slides.)

Of course, we have not listed all professions with you. But choosing a specialty for ourselves, we focus not on the whole world, but on the society that surrounds us, on the country in which we live, on our capabilities and abilities.

Life goes on. Already spaceships become passenger, and soon people will fly into space for a walk. And computers, cell phones have already become objects of our everyday life. In any case, despite technological progress, your work now is study. But the question of choice future specialty should be one of the main ones for you on the threshold of graduation. And schooling will soon be replaced by other work - professional.

How to navigate in the diverse world of professions?

Job requirements for a person.

When a young person chooses a profession for himself, he is interested in making his profession popular with employers not only today, but also in 10-20 years. It is calledstable demand for a profession.

Along with the professions of a doctor, builder, teacher, etc., the transport, chemical industry, high technologies, communications, new professions at the intersection of traditional ones, economic management, social sphere. At the same time, for professional success at present stage development of society personal qualities, communication skills, a person's motivation to work, readiness for continuous improvement of one's professionalism, for change, become more important than the traditionally understood amount of knowledge.

An indicator of the stability of demand for a profession is the number of jobs in a particular specialty available at various enterprises in the region and region. Achieving the goal depends on the desire of a person, determination and will.

The main factors or conditions for choosing a profession are aspects of a sound professional plan that takes into account the interests, health status, abilities of the person choosing a profession and the needs of society in personnel.

Conventionally, these components of the formula for the correct conscious choice of profession can be designated as“I want”, “I can”, “I have to”.(Slide diagram).

"Want" - interests and inclinations.

Interest - the desire to know an object or phenomenon, the desire to study it.

inclinations - desire to do something certain activities. Interests and inclinations may or may not coincide with each other, they can be directed to one, several, many types of activity.

"I can" - abilities, state of health.

Capabilities - individual human abilities that ensure the success of any activity, the ease of assimilation and mastery of this activity, the creative capabilities of a person.

"Necessary" - the needs of society in personnel.

The society needs specialists of different professions. Choosing a profession, you need to coordinate your choice with the need social production in frames.

The combination of these three important aspects when considering a career plan will help determine the best career path for each person, which is extremely important in today's labor market conditions.

General structure of vocational education.

A profession can be obtained in a different kind educational institutions depending on what level of professional education you choose. Vocational education is primary, secondary and higher.

If man exists [by predestination from above] in order to worship God, then why did God not create man to respect him? If a person was created in order to build, then why does he still need to study and have a desire for a craft? In other words, if God, when creating man, predetermined the fate of a builder for him, then why didn’t He endow man immediately, from birth, with the ability to build? Why is it necessary, fulfilling the predestination of God, to learn some other professions? Why isn't a person born as a carpenter, bricklayer, digger, etc.?
