The
BrownMiller Group offers career based assessment for determining the ideal major
and college environment.
This process usually
involves:
- Initial Career
counseling session to determine student’s current view of higher education
choices. The process of career decision-making and how it relates to
college choice is explained.
- Student is provided the
Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong Interest inventory to
complete and mail back to the BrownMiller office.
- A second session to
interpret the MBTI with a focus on the student’s unique personality
characteristics and how they relate to both educational and career choices.
Other relevant topics such as learning styles, living with a roommate and
managing time and stress may also be discussed.
- A third session to
interpret the Strong Interest Inventory relating the student’s interest
patterns to career choices. This information can be used to identify
college majors and extracurricular activities that can provide the students
with experience in their areas of interest, making them more marketable. A
research plan into areas of interest will be developed. Parents are
particularly encouraged to attend the third counseling session which will
also include a summary of the counseling, with suggestions of a additional
resources and action steps.
- A final session to
report in on the student’s research into areas of career interest and
potential majors. Note that the student will be taught a research process
which they can use throughout their college career and beyond to evaluate
career decisions.
- Each session is an hour
and the fee is $85.00 per hour. Inventories are $35.00 per inventory.
Appointments are available during the day or evening.
