Career Assessments

Career assessments are important tools in helping individuals make career and educational choices. Please be aware that these tools WILL NOT make a decision for you, nor are they perfect instruments. Utilized in conjunction with a professional interpretation by a career counselor, these tools can help to clarify the decision-making process.

Strong Interest Inventory (SII) - Coming soon, not being offered yet.

The Strong Interest Inventory (SII) is a research validated instrument designed to assist adults with career decisions. By comparing your interests to the interests of people who enjoy their jobs, the SSI will help you to discover your true interests so that you can better identify, understand, and expand your career options. The report is based on the concept that if people like their jobs, and you share the same interests, you’ll likely find similar work enjoyable. This assessment takes about 25 minutes to complete.

Cost:  coming soon

Procedure for Administration: 

Once the SII has been paid for (cash only), you will receive instructions for taking it online. At the same time, you will make a follow-up appointment via CCN with a Career Advisor for a 1 hour interpretation where you will receive a professional interpretation and the profile of your results. You must take the assessment no later than 24 hours before the interpretation appointment so that the Career Advisor can have the profile of results in-hand.
