Self-Assessments are tools that give a person information about their skills, likes and dislikes, or abilities. Self-assessments can also help you to recognize areas where you may need support. During this activity, you will answer questions, take self-assessments, and reflect on the results. Consider how this information can be used to help you explore your options for employment so that you can find a job where you can be successful.
