Career & Major Exploration
-
Position your student for future success by giving them a critical advantage: career coaching during their high school years. Most colleges require applicants to commit to a program or indicate their major preferences, yet most students aren’t ready for this important decision. Gaining clarity on best-fit majors and careers early on helps students focus on the right coursework and activities during high school and approach their futures with direction and purpose. Early direction helps students select the best-fit colleges and programs and also saves families time and money down the road by avoiding the additional tuition costs that often come with major switching.
This targeted 5 session service offers personalized guidance using leading assessments, job data and career resources.
