What I love most about my job is I have the opportunity to take a group of
students every year who have no idea really what they want to do. They take a
career development class; we teach them interview skills, resume writing, take
some career assessments, and try to narrow down what they're interested in
doing. And I always say, if you can see the kids the first day and see them
again at the end of the school year — how much they've grown and how much more
confident they are, and, um, you know, they figured out what they want to do in
college, what they want to take as a major, or what they want to do after high
school, and I think that's so rewarding.
I think Kuder really specifies what
you're good at, and it gives you the confidence you need to say I can go
after that job that I want, I can go get that internship because here is listed
what I'm good at, here I can be successful in this job, and I think it
points out — and it's just a great guidance for students with that
uncertainty and unknowing of what they want to do with the rest of their lives.
You know there's so much information out there especially with the internet and
being able to come to one place to find everything was a huge benefit to her.
I think sometimes it's awesome for these kids to have so much information, but
it's overwhelming as well. And what we loved about what she got to experience
through Kuder and through the Navigator system was having it —
Centralized. I think simplified.
And, uh, having the access instead of just surfing Google all day with
outdated materials. It was very clear, it was very updated, and I think it was very
applicable to packaging the candidate that our daughter wanted to become.
Why do I think career assessments are important for students?
Well, without that they really don't know.
They don't know what's out there. They don't know where
their interests might take them. They just don't know. And so having a having a
product like Kuder to support that and to help guide the students, really for
them the options are limitless. And they need to know where their interests might
lead them and and what they might find fulfilling and
satisfying in a career. Kuder supports our students in career planning.
Kuder supports our students in career awareness, and Kuder helps guide
our students as they try to figure out what they want to do with their lives.
I think my confidence has grown over my senior year just because I have a better
understanding of what I want to do and how to get there.
I think that I can do this I can work in the world I can have a job that I want
to do, and it gives me the confidence to be able to go after it and know that
I'm well prepared.
