Self-Knowledge
Career counselors can help you recognize your interests, skills, and values, which will help you set your career goals.
The Career Development Center offers standardized interest surveys including the Strong Interest Inventory and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
These assessments are administered and evaluated by a trained career counselor during your career counseling session. Interest surveys can help you identify the career fields, occupations, and work environments that will lead to a successful and rewarding career.
