Find out how your interests and personality can relate to a good career choice that will fit with you.

We can help in choosing a major and define career goals that will lead to developing an understanding of career opportunities that may be available to you.

The Career Choices program is designed to help Purdue University Calumet students explore and define their concept of self and link this to a satisfying career, profession and academic direction. Through interpretation of assessment data, discussion of best-fit possibilities and working through of the career decision process in a group setting, students can select from academic options (eg: academic major) and careers that would best fit the student’s interests, values and personality type.

There are four sessions lasting approximately ninety minutes each. The program begins with the administration of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory. The remaining sessions focus on assisting the students to identify interests, abilities, skills, values and personality traits. Ultimately, the student will be better prepared to make sound occupational choices and identify a personally relevant academic major.
