The first 300 registrants for the TRIO and GEAR UP Programs Career Conference will receive a FREE SDS Career Assessment.
The SDS is based on a theory developed by John Holland, known as RIASEC theory, that both people and work environments can be classified according to six basic types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. These personality types are known together as RIASEC.
The assessment asks questions about an individual’s aspirations, activities, competencies, interests, and other self-estimates. It takes only about 20 minutes to complete.
At the end of the online assessment, an interactive, customized report is generated. Reports are accessible for the next four years! Depending on the answers, students and staff will receive a StandardSDS report, a StudentSDS report, or a VeteranSDS report.
