"The Career Planning Guide is easy to do. It’s the most valuable part, because it requires clients to consider and write down goals and objectives."

—Tammi Midkiff, Job Training Specialist

Most career assessment inventories use past work experience and educational attainment as key factors in identifying job options for the future. But how do people with little or no work experience and/or who have limited education identify job options and make a transition to employment?

What Do You Like to Do?
One approach is to match people's interests to job options! Everyone has interests, so the Transition-to-Work Inventory assesses their levels of interest in a wide variety of nonwork activities.Test takers review a list of just 84 nonwork activities and rate their like (or dislike) of each one—in other words: What do they like to do? Their scores connect to 14 major career interest areas (based on the Guide for Occupational Exploration—GOE).

The inventory opens up to a career exploration chart that presents a wealth of information organized around the 14 GOE areas:
• Many job titles
• Related education and training
• Self-employment options

Plus, space is provided for listing the pros and cons of various possibilities, writing the next steps to take, and for journaling.
