FOCUS

What is it? FOCUS is a self-paced, career guidance tool that can assist you in making some important decisions like choosing an academic major or career. This series of online assessments is designed to help you in the career development process by providing you with career-related information. FOCUS can also help you decide on career goals and action plans by increasing your awareness of your talents, interests, values, personality and potential for success in certain careers.

How long does it take? A great deal of career-related information can be found in this assessment, and we encourage you to review it as many times as you wish.

Getting Started. To complete FOCUS, follow the steps below.

(NOTE: Alumni should contact the Career Center for KEYCODE information.)

When Finished. By the time you’ve completed FOCUS, you’ll have received a great deal of information about yourself and about potential majors and careers. Although FOCUS will provide you with an abundance of useful information, some of it may seem a little confusing or overwhelming to process on your own. The best way to understand your results is to meet with a professional from The Career Center, who will assist you in interpreting the information. During the meeting you’ll have a chance to discuss your results and develop an action plan to help you achieve your academic and career goals.
