Career Assessments
Career assessments reveal your strengths, interests, values, and personality, helping you align your unique identity with academic and career paths.
Whether you’re entering college undecided or looking to confirm your current major, assessments provide clarity and direction.
During your time at university, career assessments can:
- Inform your choice of major by highlighting fields that match your natural preferences and abilities.
- Build self-awareness, helping you understand your work style, motivations, and the types of environments where you’ll succeed.
