Career Coaching Steps

  • Step 1: Assessment
    Students will use ACT’s Talent Assessment to measure work-related attitudes and behaviors. Students will also utilize ACT’s Fit Assessment to measure interests and values and match them to aligned occupations. 
  • Step 2: Review Results
    Students will gain an understanding of themselves through an individual meeting with their career coach to review their assessment results. 
  • Step 3: Discover Careers 
    Students will choose at least three jobs to explore and learn about daily activities, skills and education required, anticipated growth, wage rate, and many more useful decision-making tools. 
  • Step 4: Focus on a Path
    Students will begin deciding which career would be best for them based on their assessment results and career exploration.   
  • Step 5: Get Started
    Students will lay out their plan for obtaining their chosen career path.
