Are you unsure with what to do with your life after high school? If you find yourself in that place of uncertainty, that’s OK! There are career assessments designed to help you explore your options and help you find answers. I have listed below some useful links that will help begin this exploration process. Of course, you are always welcome to come and see me (Ms D) to discuss what is on your mind regarding your post-secondary studies and career plans.

Holland Code Career Test (explore work-related interests): https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/RIASEC/
The Holland Code self-assessment examines your suitability with different careers based on six occupational themes: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. This assessment identifies your top interest areas and how they compare to the other theme areas, and what this means for your career interests.

 Career Values Test: if you are interested in finding out more about your career values come and visit me, MS D. I can loan you a set of cards that you sort through to see what are your top career values.
