  • CAREER ASSESSMENTS & COLLEGE SEARCHES

    The decision to pick the right career path and/or college may seem daunting! Fortunately, there are various resources available to you (for free!) that will help guide your decisions. 

    Self-assessments are important because they use your unique skills, interests, and personality traits to choose career paths as good matches for you. Starting these assessments in your Sophomore or Junior year allows you plenty of time to research your results and make a decision about what you want to do after high school.

    As if choosing your career path wasn’t hard enough, the decision to choose a college is also quite the task. The College Search Tools provided below should help with that! These tools allow you to input certain criteria (GPA, test scores, location desired, major, etc) and then see a personalized list of schools that fit your needs/wants.
