College Counseling: Strong Interest Inventory Workshop

The college admissions process is a time of exploration and discovery for students. To jumpstart the

process, we are offering current tenth-grade (rising eleventh-grade) students the option to take the Strong Interest Inventory.  

In choosing a college major, a student’s interests are a key factor to consider. Interests are a good starting point for exploration because most students have clear preferences. The Strong Interest Inventory offers a framework for organizing the world of work into six broad themes based on interests. While interests will continue to evolve with age, patterns begin to emerge as students enter high school. Your student’s results will be useful in considering different career choices and the associated academic requirements.

Through the Strong workshop experience, students will benefit

from the interpretation of their results by a Certified Strong Consultant, Joyce Auskelis, founder of DefiningNEXT. She will guide students through learning activities and introduce a research tool for them to explore occupations independently. The deliverable from the workshop is a student-created summary to share as input to the college counseling process.

We offer two sessions of The College Counseling Strong Inventory Workshop; the first one on Tuesday, July 16, 11:30 a.m -1:30 p.m (session 1) and the second one on Thursday, August 8, 10:30 am - 12:30 p.m (session 2). Students may sign up for either session. Space is limited to 20 participants for each session. There is a $145 fee per participant, which includes program materials.
