What is a career assessment?
Are you about to embark upon the journey to a career but have no idea where to start? Confused about what program to apply to in post-secondary? Unsure what field would suit your abilities best? Or, maybe you’ve been working for years and are considering a change.
The world of work is rapidly and constantly changing but when people choose a career path based on external factors such as the job market or how long a training program is, they often end up feeling unsatisfied with their choice. Being a rock star or astronaut like you wanted to when you were a kid may no longer be realistic but finding a rewarding and fulfilling career is.
You deserve a career that is meaningful, fulfilling, and motivating. So, whether you are a student deciding on a career path for the first time or someone thinking of changing jobs for the seventh, a career assessment will help you navigate the world of possibilities and reduce career-related dissatisfaction. A career assessment will also reduce the likelihood that you will be making this same decision again a few years from now because it will help you find fulfillment and purpose in a career matched to your interests, values and abilities.
