Adults: Career Transition


“Choose a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”
                                                                                                                Chinese Proverb

Where am I going now with my career?
Should I go back to school?
What are good career fits for my abilities and interests?

Some of our services for adults include:

    Assessments
    Marketing oneself
    Coaching
    Networking

“Taking all three assessments gave me many more ideas as to good career fits and places to put my energy for my career search.”

Adult Assessment Package

Assessments offered for adults going through career change:

  • Career Action Plan – One hour session focusing on client goals and aspirations. Its used to diagnose past career issues, brainstorm possibilities, and set up goals and an action plan.  Resumes can also be reviewed.

  • The Highlands Ability Battery— gives information on natural aptitudes, compatible work roles, artistic abilities, learning channels

  • Strong Interest Inventory®—This inventory takes about 20 minutes to complete and results in a 15 page computer generated report revealing good career fits based solely on interests.

  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)®—This 20 minute self- report paper and pencil inventory is one of the most widely used personality instruments in the world today that utilizes Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types. By learning which of 16 personality types a person fits into, a person can find a better fit for a career and work setting.

Working with adults from eighteen and above, it has been found that taking a few assessments gives more concise information about a person and choosing a career.  This could be compared to a CAT scan where information is revealed that a person might not necessarily have know. Adults may choose any combination of the three assessments.  Pricing is dependent on which assessments are chosen.

After taking any of the three assessments, a person sits down with a trained professional for a one or two hour coaching session. Included in this discussion are the results of the three assessments, diagnosing past career issues, and planning career goals, strategies, and areas of exploration. Individual coaching following the session is available and utilized by most participants.  Complete packages are also available.
