For additional exploration, Focus 2 Career offers several other tools for learning more about occupations and majors, including the specific academic programs available at UW-Green Bay.
5. Make an Appointment
After completing the assessments and exploring the related careers and majors, you should make an appointment with a career advisor at UW-Green Bay, who can help you make sense of your results, explain what the assessments mean, and provide you with additional resources.
Other Options for Career Exploration
In addition to Focus 2 Career, we have tools such as the Strong Interest Inventory or the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) which might assist you in determining potential career fields or majors. These assessments use information that you provide about your interests and preferences to identify occupations that are likely to be a good fit for you. A career advisor will meet with you to determine whether an assessment tool could help you with your career or major decision-making, and help you interpret your results.

Self-assessments help you clarify your interests, skills and values so you can find majors and careers best suited for you. But there's no one-size-fits-all solution to planning your future. If you're still feeling lost, just contact us for an individual appointment.
