Career Assessment
Career
assessment is typically conducted either with school leavers, or people
who are wanting a mid-career change. The same battery of
assessment tools is used for both purposes. It can either be
requested by individuals, or by organisations who have identified a
mismatch in terms of job fit.
The
battery includes a personality test, a vocational Interest measure,
the Myers-Briggs, and a general interest profile. Unique to our
approach is the fact that an extensive interview with a psychologist
is conducted so as to ensure the accuracy of our recommendations. The
whole assessment process takes approximately four to five hours
and at a later date a feedback session is done to discuss the
results, the way forward and to provide a report.
As
mentioned, we are focussing on providing an integrated information
database detailing tertiary study information, information related to
the needs of the market in each specific career field, expected
earnings, cost and duration of courses as well as links to successful
professionals in various careers willing to offer more information.
