Career Resilience Toolkit
The kit is a physical tool that encourages a growth mindset and highlights the personal qualities it requires. It includes buttons, thought cards and a journal. The buttons depict images of the five components of resilience. The thought cards, meanwhile, are designed to inspire you and also contain activities that encourage you to reflect on your thoughts, feelings and actions.
