Vocational Assessments and Career Planning
Vocational Assessments help individuals to make realistic decisions to determine training, education, and employment options using a variety of psychometric testing. The results factor in medical and disability information to determine career options and to understand vocational potential and overall employability.
Career Planning Assessments are designed to help students aged 16 and older with choosing a career path. This is not a medical or disability-focused assessment. Career options are presented that would match the student’s interests and abilities, as determined by the test results.

Assessments take 5-6 hours, include an interview with the vocational evaluator and the completion of some testing. Please note that breaks are provided during the assessment.
