You can find a number of career interest assessments and surveys on our website.  Many instructors use the Career Cluster Interest Survey to begin the career exploration process with students. Once you have assessed the student and identified a career cluster of interest, use this form to choose a Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) that would help them gain valuable work experience in that field.  We have provided links to career interest assessments and CTSOs at the end of the document.
