Career Planning & Self Assessment
A self assessment should be the first step you take when choosing an occupation. Learning about yourself helps you figure out what career to pursue. Self assessment is also the process of gathering information about yourself in order to make an informed career decision. Learn about value, interest, and personality inventories, skill assessments, and computer-assisted career guidance assessments.
At Maple Ridge Secondary School it is one of our goals to direct our students towards the various assessment tools that are available to them. The following websites will assist students by providing current information on career planning, decision making and occupation and employment opportunities.
