Assessments and Career Exploration

Holland Code

The Holland Codes is a system to classify jobs into job categories, interest clusters, or work personality environments. In the Holland Model, these categories represent work personalities.

The assessment asks you to identify your skills by reflecting on your personal accomplishments, classroom performance in various subjects, previous jobs or volunteer positions held, and feedback you receive from others. Skills play a critical role in career development.

Take the short Skills Matcher assessment at Careeronestop. Then, visit Onet skills search and filter skills by Typical Education to explore related careers to your specific Holland Code.

Myers-Briggs Personality Types

This assessment categorizes personalities into 16 possible types and identifies common behaviors. The end result means that you’ll understand yourself a little better so you can make a career choice that best fits your personality. Take the Free Assessment.

 

Career Readiness

To quote the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), career readiness is the foundation from which to demonstrate requisite core competences that broadly prepares the college educated for success in the workplace and lifelong career management. NACE lists eight career readiness competencies in the Competencies for a Career-Ready Workforce publication:

  • Career & Self-Development
  • Communication
  • Critical Thinking
  • Equity & Inclusion
  • Leadership
  • Professionalism
  • Teamwork

Each competency can be demonstrated in a variety of ways.
