Career assessments

The Career Resources Center (CRC) offers several types of free career assessments that can be useful in identifying possible career directions.

Self-assessments can help you learn how your interests, skills and values fit within the world of work, but completing self-assessments is an active process. You need to be willing to take additional steps after completing an assessment in order to get the most benefit.

Self-discovery can be enlightening. Use the links below to begin your career search.
