Trust the Career Exploration Process

Our process begins with various personality inventories  to help your child understand and recognize their innate traits and how they may affect their happiness in a career.

We then provide an Interest Inventory to determine your child’s interest in the workforce– not just what they are good at. We expose them to over 500 careers so they can begin to understand the vast number of opportunities available to them. Too often kids only think of the careers that everyone talks about: Engineer, Doctor, Lawyer, Nurse, Teacher, or state “maybe something in business”, but they have no idea what that really means.

Once we have an idea of what your child is interested in, we will continue to narrow down the options by diving deeper; we will look into the average salary, growth rate, daily tasks and duties, work environment, necessary skills, and education required in relation to that career. As your child discovers careers that are of interest consider, we will also look at similar careers to make sure that all options are explored. At this point, we will begin to see patterns in their interests and traits that are important to your child.

We will then set up career shadows so they can get an idea of what a day in the life of a person in that career is like. We will provide questions for their shadow opportunity, so they get the most out of the day. The opportunity to meet with a professional provides not only valuable insight but also the opportunity to begin establishing contacts in their career field. This is helpful for future internships and jobs.

The purpose of the career exploration is to make sure that your child is confident when choosing the right major and path in college, which makes them less likely to waste time and money by switching majors or feeling unsure and overwhelmed when they realize there are over 400 majors at many schools. Once your child has a career in mind, it will be easy to determine what major is best for them and will make college selection a more efficient task.
