Psychometric Career Assessments
Psychometric career assessment overview:
The career exploration process occurs and evolves throughout life. A holistic career psychometric experience will contribute towards emotional, social and academic empowerment during the career exploration process. The CCDU offers a battery of psychometric career assessments to provide insight into how your interests, personality and values can be best suited to certain career paths.
The psychometric career assessment process:
The assessment process is conducted over 2 sessions. The 1st session is for the psychometric career assessment. This occurs online or face-to-face and takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Once the psychometric career assessment is concluded, an extensive feedback report is prepared. The feedback is conducted in the 2nd session. This is an exploratory discussion around career options and decision making, and is based on the results derived from the assessment. The feedback appointment is made on the day of the assessment, and is usually scheduled approximately 2 weeks after the assessment.
