FOCUS

"So, what's your major?"

"Uh... I'm just not sure yet.  I'm still undecided."

Have you ever gotten tired of giving this response over and over again?  If you said yes, you may be an ideal candidate for FOCUS, a free career and education assessment offered through the Career Services office at IPFW.

FOCUS is an online assessment tool you can use to explore your interests and possible career paths.  This online asssessment contains four different sections you can use in your journey toward choosing a major (explore the possibilities, career readiness, self-assessment, and career protfolio).  To complete the assessment portion of the program, you access the self-assessment section.  In this section, you are invited to evaluate your work and leisure interests as well as your skills and values.  The work and leisure interest assessments ask you to select the degree to which you would enjoy a specific activity while the skills and values assessments ask you to select your top three skills and values.  At the end of each assessment you're given a list of careers related to your answers.  You can also choose to combine the results of all the assessments to recieve a career list that represents the connections between each of the assessment areas.

Are you ready to have an answer?  Each assessment takes approximately ten to fifteen minutes to complete.  Altogether, that's only about an hour of your time!  Visit the Career Services website or talk to your career counselor to start the FOCUS today!
