Career Testing for High school kids in Nigeria!!!!!!



INTRODUCTION:

We are faced with a lot of choices throughout our lifetimes, decisions have to be made in our homes, work places and in all our interactions with our environment.
It is not an easy task to accomplish, being able to choose the best option out of a number of possibilities comes with a lot of challenges.
However, there are always guides that make this process a bit less tedious and enable us make more guaranteed decisions and choices. Say for instance, a sound knowledge of the economy can help you with your investment options as will family planning help you manage your home in certain areas.
Today, College and career readiness has become a key priority for the education community and the nation at large. The increasingly competitive global economy makes it imperative that more students enter career fields that enable maximum productivity and greater potential for growth, but institutions of higher education and the business community have long expressed concerns about the inadequacy of a traditional high school education systems  in preparing students for the post secondary education or training necessary to succeed in these careers .
However, high schools face many challenges in ensuring all students are college and career ready. Not only must high schools raise the expectations they place on students and help them set more ambitious post secondary goals, but they must also provide a wider array of supports to help students meet their individual goals.
The increased focus on college and career readiness, combined with the complexity of the challenges associated with the topic, have led to a rapidly expanding college and career readiness community which we are a part of.

CAREER ASSESSMENT 

Career assessments are tools that are designed to help individuals understand how a variety of personal attributes (i.e., interests, values, preferences, motivations, aptitudes and skills), impact their potential success and satisfaction with different career options and work environments. Career assessments have played a critical role in career development and the economy in the last century . Assessments of some or all of these attributes are often used by individuals or organizations, such as university career service centers, career counselors, outplacement companies, corporate human resources staff, executive coaches, vocational rehabilitation  counselors, and guidance counselors to help individuals make more informed career decisions.

In part, the popularity for this tool is due to the National Defense Education Act of 1958, which funded career guidance in schools. Focus was put onto tools that would help high school students determine which subjects they may want to focus on to reach a chosen career path. Since 1958, career assessment tool options have exploded.



Ours is a solution born out of experience, to help our young ones identify and pursue the most beneficial and well suited career paths available to them.
 We aspire to help high school and college students narrow  down their career options , positioning themselves in the areas most relevant to their skills , strengths and interests. This goes a long way in boosting their productivity and bringing out the best in them.
We are achieving this using a series of simplified tools which have been designed specifically for this purpose and the results have been outstanding.
