Grace is Sufficient Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 My mother-in-law took her kids to local college and got some kind of career aptitude testing. For my husband, at least, it was very helpful. Has anyone done anything like this or can anyone recommend where to find out more about it? Thanks in advance!

Grace is Sufficient Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I called our local high school and a local counseling center to get some recommendations. I may also take a look at the parachute book. Nothing in that thread mentioned having it done at a local college... wondering if anyone else has heard of or done such a thing? Thanks again.

farmnwife Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I did a quick search because I thought this would be good for my kids also. I haven't really looked at them thoroughly yet but here are a few free ones online. FunEducation Career Assessment Quest Career Services There were some others but you have to give more personal info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB in NJ Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I just ordered this program. I never heard of taking them to a college to do it. Interesting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jananc Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ds took a co-op class using YES! (Youth Exploration Survey) by Crown Ministries. It's a course that can be used by groups or individual families that helps teens 13-18 discover their gifts and strengths and how that might influence their career choices. you can read about it here http://www.crown.org/yesresources/PDFs/PDFPromo.PDF and here http://www.crown.org/cartproducts/Product.asp?sku=CY965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
