Assessments are used to gather information and help determine appropriate next steps. Assessments can also help you understand your field of study, career needs, and possibilities so you can make well-informed decisions about your future.
KCC’s Career Center plays an essential role in this process by orienting you to the assessment procedures, answering questions about the purpose of specific assessment, and following through to help you use these results to explore and make decisions about majors, occupations, and jobs suggested by the results.
