Step 1:   FINDING OUT ABOUT YOURSELF

(We recommend that you select at least two of the following since no one assessment provides sufficient information for something as important as making a career choice.)

 

 IDEAS (Interest, Determination, Exploration and Assessment System)

128 question interest inventory. Receive an individualized profile showing how your interest pattern fits into 16 different occupational areas. Explore CIS occupations related to high interest areas immediately.

No appointment necessary - takes about 30 minutes.
Free to all.

 

MICRO-SKILLS

After you select transferable skills that you enjoy using most, this program will suggest and rate 30 occupations. You will also receive a score for each of the 6 Holland Personality Types and see how that relates to the work you enjoy. Then find out why a particular occupation fits or doesn't fit.

1 & ½ hour appointment
Students - $10.00,  Non-student fee - $15.00  (more information)

 

MOTIVATED SKILLS

Discover the difference between your functional-transferable skills (things you are both good at and enjoy) and your burn-out skills (things you can do, but do not enjoy).  Rather than producing a list of occupations, this can help you isolate the abilities that you want to emphasize in your work.
