Career planning is a process that includes
self-assessment, career exploration and information gathering.
In targeting a specific goal, individuals can explore
career preparation (training and/or gaining education),
attainment of marketable skills and career management.
Individuals who need to decide or clarify
a major, and individuals who need to identify new job
possibilities, are highly encouraged to make use of this
service.
The Career Planning Program is available
and includes the following features.
- Completion of two online assessments
(Myers-Brigss Type Indicator and the Strong Interest
Inventory) you can do at home
- Completion of a workbook with exercises
to assess values, interests, passions, transferable
skills and personality

over results of testing and workbook
