12 Individual Coaching Sessions
Personalized one on one coaching from one of our certified career coaches. One on one coaching sessions provide clear guidance and accountability while the user navigates through the curriculum. These sessions are typically conducted through online live video sessions and it is the coach’s responsibility to do everything possible to help our users achieve their career goals and aspirations.
StrengthsFinder 2.0 Assessment
This is Gallup’s latest version of the widely accepted career assessment tool. This assessment will show you how to use your natural talents every day to thrive in life and at work. In addition, you will understand that what you do best every day is critical to helping you succeed in your career and every other part of your life. Gallup’s studies indicate that people who focus on their strengths every day are six times more likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times more likely to report having an excellent work – life balance.
Strong Interest Inventory
This assessment is one of the world’s most widely respected and frequently used career planning tools. It has helped both academic and business organizations develop the brightest talent and has guided thousands of individuals – from college students to professionals seeking a change – in their search for a rich and fulfilling career. The Strong Interest Inventory provides robust insights into a person’s career interests, helping them to discover potential career paths they may not have considered, and giving them a wealth of information about how they approach the world of work.
Review Quizzes
Following each module, users will receive a quiz that is designed to reinforce critical information that was just learned in a module. The review quizzes serve 3 purposes:
- To Remember Important Content: Repetition is an important element of learning, and one way to repeat content is through our review quizzes. The purpose is to give learners a way to remember what they have learned. In addition, we alternate quiz types, like sequencing and labeling to further enhance the learning process.
- Motivate: Scores are immediately graded, and this motivates the user to go back and seek the correct answer should they not achieve a score of 100%. When people miss a question, they will more likely be motivated to research and review that question before moving on in the curriculum.
- Assess What Was Learned: Of course, we want to know whether people learned something, but we also want to always look for ways to improve our curriculum. Users responses to quizzes can quickly identify areas that may need to be better explained or communicated in a different way insuring maximum comprehension by our users.
Hands-On Activities
Our users are assigned activities throughout the curriculum and each activity has a specific purpose. For example, an activity may take the content that was just learned in a module and guide the user to incorporate that content into a real life scenarios while other activities will focus on assisting the user in better understanding themselves and how that relates specifically to long-term career success.
