Career Info
  • Interest Assessment - An assessment exercise that may help you learn more about your preferences. It is based on John Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice. This theory maintains that people can be loosely classified into six categories: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. College majors and careers can also be sorted into these same categories. This assessment will help you learn about which of the six areas tend to relate to your interests. Next, you can look at college majors and careers that may be consistent with your preferences. You are more likely to be satisfied with career choices that are consistent with your skills, interests, and values.
  • Kuder Career Assessment
    Use the Edamerica College and Career Planning System to assess your interests, skills, and work values. Sponsored by Edamerica, every student in Tennessee is able to access this planning system free of charge. See your counselor to get your batch code.
