Specialized Assessment Tools
Our assessment tools help define the starting point for your journey, and set goals for progress and success.
“I’m not sure college is right for me…”
Transition Example: High School to College
- Feels the expectations and pressure to get a four-year degree
- Doesn’t have a clear sense of purpose, but doesn’t want to disappoint parents and others
- Uneasy about the future, uncertain about what to do…
“Is it too late to start a new career?”
Transition Example: Mid-Life Career Change
- Successful career cut short by downsizing and implicit age discrimination
- Never really loved what they were doing; time for a change with another 7-10 years of career to go, and desire to achieve some financial security before retirement
- Needs help with self-assessment and discovery, as well as the practical steps of conducting a job search in earnest
Life should be fulfilling, and work should be an outlet for our creativity and ambition.
