Career Assessments

Do you feel unsure about which career to pursue?

Do you want to make sure your career plans match your strengths and interests?

Then you may benefit from taking a career development assessment.

• Students might take one or more assessments if they are uncertain about how their interests, preferences, or values relate to their academic planning and career development.
• Some students take career assessments when they want to confirm what they think they know about themselves.
• Others take them because they know their strengths and qualities but are uncertain which occupations might be meaningful for them.

How to Get Started

First, complete the Request Career Advising form, and a career advisor will gather information to help decide whether testing might be helpful, and which assessments would be most appropriate.

• The career assessments are self-guided, online, and free.
• A WSU Global Campus career advisor will help you explore career possibilities based on your assessment results and share resources to help you prepare to pursue potential career paths.
