The Career Exploration Program for Students

Career Coaching for Students™ Version 3.0!
Includes all-new Life Skills for Students™ e-Learning modules and updated online resources

This new version 3.0 is fabulous. I can’t say enough good things. A truly remarkable program.Marcie Swift, M.Ed., NCSP, Certified CCfS Coach, West Suffield, CT

Career Coaching for Students™ is the program that students in high school or college can use to gain clarity around their talent and learn about career choices that are a good fit to their talent.

The program is offered as the centerpiece for coaches and counselors, for group workshops, individual home use by parents with their son or daughter and for school administrators, guidance counselors and teachers as part of a class curriculum. A facilitator’s guide and certification training is available for those wanting to deliver the content in a class or workshop setting.

Career Coaching for Students™ was introduced to address the growing need in society for our students to find passion in life. With half of today’s workers unsatisfied in their career and college students changing majors an average of twice before graduating, the financial and emotional impact on students has become a national concern. There are a number of programs geared towards helping students “qualify” for college with a little “career direction” sprinkled in. Career Coaching for Students™ goes much deeper by inspiring students to find their passion, establish goals and create action plans to achieve success.

Parent User Manual for Students

Parent User Manual Sample Report and Flyer
One of the assessments used for the Career Coaching for Students™ program is called Career Planning Insights®. Parents can take the same assessment and receive their own Relationship Insights® behavioral report by completing the interest form (click Read More). We refer to it tongue-in-cheek as a Parent User Manual. Your teenager will have fun reading your report (the accuracy is amazing) and will learn something about how best to communicate with you (your communication preferences). We offer this Parent User Manual for free as an evaluation tool but we also hope it serves to strengthen the bridge between parent and teenager.  

While Career Planning Insights® and Relationship Insights® are focused for different purposes, they both use the same assessment instrument. As part of the Career Coaching for Students program, the student also receives a second assessment that focuses on motivators.  Together the two assessments enable the student (and parents) to have incredible insights that help in the career exploration process.

As a parent, and especially if you don't center your life around assessments, the idea that an "assessment" can be helpful may seem a bit of a stretch. You may have even experienced an assessment and found it to be less than impressive which has created skepticism. Perhaps your student brought home some "career assessment report" from school only to find it "a little rediculous" and suspect, as one parent shared.
