Give Your Student
an Advantage
How many adults do you know that have jokingly said, "I
still don't know what I want to be when I grow up"?
Your child does not have to become one of these adults. Early
college and career planning is the key to their success.
What steps can parents take to give their son or daughter
an advantage?
Begin with the end in mind. Identifying careers that align
with who your child is will help your family in the college
and college major selection process. Because students typically
have very limited exposure to the hundreds of career possibilities
that exist, many have a difficult time narrowing their choices.
How do they explore and choose from the more than 150 majors
that exist today? Successful people know the value of finding
career direction early versus the high cost of exploring in
college and beyond. See

How will Career Vision help my student?
In positive, interactive sessions, our highly credentialed
consultants provide comprehensive feedback to you and your
child, based on their individual assessment results. Together,
you will learn a wealth of truly valuable information to help
you make the best educational and career decisions; and your
child will gain insight on how to capitalize on his or her
strengths for the best results in school. It is a comfort
to know that as an alum of Career Vision, your child can always
draw on our expertise and resources for guidance along the
way.
What are the assessments and how do they differ from school
tests?
Combined with interests, personality and values, Career Vision
uses the Ball
Aptitude Battery® as the core assessment to identify
your son's or daughter's unique talents. These assessments
are not offered in schools, yet are critical to understanding
one's pattern of aptitudes and their impact on career-related
choices. They are not pass/fail tests and scores are not good
or bad. Students often say they are more like games or puzzles.
And because aptitudes remain relatively stable throughout
one's lifetime, your child will be able to apply this information
into adulthood.
Will you "pigeon hole" my child into a career
or discourage my child from going in a particular career direction?
No. Our process often opens up a student's mind to career
possibilities that he or she may not have considered. We link
suggested college majors and educational options with a number
of career recommendations that match your child's unique talents.
What can we expect to gain from investing in Career Vision?
Your student will save time investigating majors and careers
and have objective information for decision-making. Having
more direction, he or she will be less likely to change majors,
requiring extra semesters in college--saving additional tuition
expenses, time, and frustration. Parents say we ignite confidence
in their children and increase their motivation to pursue
goals. And we guarantee our services.
