Assessment in Career Planning

The purpose of assessment in career planning is to help students:

• Solidify their career choices through deeper self-knowledge and exploration of options.
  
  
• Develop a career and learning plan to carry them through career transition and into employment.

During career planning, students should further explore their initial commitment to a specific job and the career choice. The goal is to ensure that they have solid knowledge about themselves and their options and that they are making an informed decision to stay employed and to enter the CTP phase. Solid assessment and career planning support during career planning improves long-term retention and reduces career changes.
