What is Career Assessment?

Career assessments can be used for a variety of purposes, including career exploration (choosing a college major/Training programs/Job), career planning and career transition (during education and job).It can also help individuals identify potential barriers to career success, such as skills gaps or lack of experience in a particular area.

It involves the use of various tools and techniques, such as aptitude and personality tests, surveys, questionnaires, interviews and career interest inventories that are designed to gather information and provide individuals with a comprehensive understanding of themselves.
