Guided Self Assessment
For students struggling to identify potential careers and majors
A powerful “career-minded” tool
Available to students in grades 10 and up
Most students have NO clue what careers exist and which are a good fit for them…students struggling to identify potential careers and majors.
In high school, the focus is on the next test, book, project, lunch, football game or tennis match.
Do 10th & 11th graders need to think about jobs now?! They’re in high school!
Students tell us they go to college “to get a better job.” College is not far away. The sooner good clues can emerge, the better.
So, how can you help your high school student? What is Guided Self Assessment?

High school students have three choices ahead: major, college, and career. After Guided Self Assessment, students make these choices with confidence and clarity.
Guided Self Assessment can be a game changer! It helps young adults identify their strongest personal traits, strengths, challenges, preferences, values and more so they can make better choices.
Our experienced facilitators guide the student through five one-hour, one-on-one casual interviews to draw out this information.
Our team analyzes all their input, making connections, and reasonable conclusions. We report to the family all the findings, including a list of potential careers to explore and a customized set of next steps.
During the course of several interviews, students:
- navigate the far reaches of their experiences, aspirations and uncertainties
- sort and sift, question and ponder with an unbiased guide skilled in the art of interviewing
- spend time thinking about themselves, a very important deliverable in this process
What is the real value to this process?
- Students actively consider experiences, guided by an engaged & independent 3rd party.
- Understanding their strongest traits will assist with choices, interviews, essays, etc.
- Potential savings of an extra year in college! Indecision leads to transferring or changing of majors – not to mention lost wages/retirement savings.
- Helps the student develop their criteria for building their college list.
- Lays the groundwork for effective career exploration activities.
