Student Career Assessment

Trying to decide on what you’re going to do after high  school  can be such a challenge! Should you go to college? Should you go to a trade or a  technical school? Or should you look into an apprenticeship and consider a career as an electrician or a plumber or something else? Making these important decisions about your future can be daunting, especially when there are so many options and you have no idea what you want to do. Learning about your natural abilities and becoming more aware of who YOU truly are can set you on a path to career happiness and success!

College Students, do you know what you will be doing after you graduate? ​ Research shows that more than half of all college students change their major at least once and many do so three times or more with the average college student taking six years to complete their undergraduate degree. Approximately 67% of college graduates will end up in a career field unrelated to their college major.

A lot of time, money, and effort is invested into your career development and with all of the available options and so many decisions to be made, there is a lot at stake. Making these decisions armed with the proper information and guidance can save you a lot of heartache.

Finding a fulfilling career that will provide you with meaningful work is important and will lead to greater job satisfaction and happiness in life. 

The First Step in making these important decisions is self-awareness.

Through Aptitude Testing and Career Assessments, we can help you identify your own special gifts and unique abilities. We will help you to clarify your occupational interests and values and find out what your career motivators are.

If you are a college student who is still undecided on a major,  or if you’ve already chosen a major and now realize that you’re probably not in the right place, now is the time to learn what your natural abilities are and clarify your career values and motivators so that you can move forward with confidence and make decisions based on who you truly are.

If you are a high school student trying to decide on a college major or are considering a different approach to your future career, we can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and clarify your interests and values so that you can make decisions about your future with confidence.
