Career Assessments are tools designed to help you learn about yourself to help you make informed career decisions. Career Assessments are not a test and should not be used as the sole career and/or major decision indicator. Depending on your needs, a specific assessment might be more useful than another.
If you are interested in taking a career assessment, request an appointment by calling (714) 895-8217 or chat with a representative.
