Not all students arrive at college with a prepared mindset of their future career path. For some, the decision may be a struggle.
“Discover,” a program by ACT, is expected to be available on the Career Services Web site in the near future.
The program’s personal profile will help guide students in making career decisions. Discover offers assessment tests that allow students to be matched with jobs that best suit them.
With the personal profile provided by the program, students can devise a career plan. Students can also identify their strengths and weaknesses with the program, said Helene Cameron, director of Career Services at WSSU.
“I think that the program is an excellent tool, and will be a resource for students making career-related decisions.”
