Discovery Package
This package is designed for students who either lack a clear vision for their future, wish to gain more self-awareness, or seek clarity regarding their interests and strengths.
​
For any students trying to discover more about themselves, we offer a comprehensive package of aptitude, personality, and career interest assessments that deliver a solid foundation of personal insight. Through one-on-one counseling, we use these tools to help students discover their natural abilities, leverage their strengths, highlight their interests, and plan an educational path and career goals that are most likely to fulfill lifelong satisfaction and success.
​
Our Method
Assess
By utilizing the comprehensive range of 7 distinct assessments, we evaluate various aspects of a student's interests, abilities, and personality. We then provide a detailed and personalized report from each assessment, containing their scores and interpretations.
Explore
One-on-one counseling is provided to discuss the results of each assessment. These in-depth discussions with the student will facilitate a deeper understanding of who they are and also provide awareness of how others around them are different.
Discover
Our final objective is to piece all the assessments and interpretations together to develop a personal vision and set of career goals that meet their strengths, natural abilities, personality, skills, values, and interests.

The results will equip a student with clear language to describe their natural abilities, the types of roles and responsibilities most aligned with their aptitudes, and tools for exploring their options.

CAREER INTEREST
Strong Interest Inventory

The results, based on extensive research and data, provide the student with ten occupational interests that fit their work personality.
