A variety of assessment materials will be used. This information will then be compiled into an easy to read report, reflecting scores, performance levels and aptitudes. This profile information will then be used to suggest specific job areas or to explore a more general career path. Any student in grades 9 - 12 who is unsure or who wants to confirm a career choice can benefit from this service. By being assessed early in high school, a student can use the information from this report to help choose the most suitable curriculum.
Career assessment becomes more valuable the closer a student is to graduation.
Many times 11th and 12th graders are unsure of a career path and the evaluation process may help identify interests, abilities and strengths that can lead to different career clusters or specific jobs. There are two ways to take advantage of career assessment. A student can print out and complete the Career Assessment Referral Form included on this web site and return it to their high school guidance office. Students can also contact their high school guidance office for a copy of the Referral Form. After receiving the Referral Form, the JVS Assessment Counselors will send the student a letter indicating the dates of the assessment and follow-up conference.
