Career Assessments

Assessments can be useful tools for learning about who you are, what interests you, what abilities and skills you have, and what you value in life and work. However, they are not prescriptions for the right career choice for you. By taking assessments, you can begin to gather information about yourself.  It is often helpful to discuss your results with a Career Counselor. Consider the following components before deciding on your career goal:

  • Interests
  • Skills
  • Personality
  • Spiritual Gifts
  • Values
  • Geography
  • Environment
