Career Assessment Package

What is the Career Assessment Package (CAP)?

Take assessments to understand yourself better and identify majors and careers that fit your unique personality, strengths, interests, and values.

1. Take three online assessments.
• Personality Assessment
  
  • The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) will help you design a career that fits your natural personality.
• Interest Inventory
  • The Strong Interest Inventory (SII) will match your interests to college majors and 130 different careers.
• Values Assessment
  • The values assessment will help you determine what is most important to you and ensure you choose a career that fits you.
2. Meet with a Career Development Specialist to review results.
   Includes two career counseling sessions (one 2-hour and one 1-½-hour) to help you interpret your assessment results and explore careers that people with your interests and personality enjoy. If needed, you can continue to meet with your specialist until you feel confident that you have picked a major and career right for you.
3. Use what you learn to choose or confirm your major and career.
   Choosing a major and designing your future career is not easy. The CAP is a great way to assist you in this process. By working one-on-one with a Career Development Specialist, you will understand how your assessments can help you decide on a major and career that fits you well.
