Careerwise Vocational Interest Inventory

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions a student has to make. When in school, there are two choice points in a student’s career planning process i.e. standard X when you have to decide which stream to choose and standard XII when you have to choose the specialization in graduation.

The Careerwise Vocational Interest Inventory enables you to take this important decision scientifically so that you can choose careers you are more likely to enjoy and excel in. The non-judgemental, non-evaluative assessment will help you understand your strong vocational interests and will act as a spring board to your career planning process.

The Careerwise report which gets generated immediately on completion of the assessment, would provide you with:

• A graphic profile highlighting your top Interest areas.
• List of vocations under the top interest areas.
• Action Plan templates and worksheets to help you make that all important career decision.
