 Northstar Christian Academy Juniors met with Faith Durden, on Friday, October 31, 2008, to review their ASVAB results from a test they took on October 20, 2008. The following information is from the ASVAB website. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program includes eight individual tests covering verbal and math skills, mechanical knowledge, electronics, and several other areas. It also produces three Career Exploration Scores for Verbal Skills, Math Skills, and Science and Technical Skills. These three scores serve as one of several pieces of information about your child that can aid in the exploration of a wide variety of career options. The ASVAB is offered at no cost and no obligation to high school students.  Your child can use the ASVAB results along with Exploring Careers: The ASVAB Career Exploration Guide. Every student who takes the ASVAB receives a copy of the Guide. It has a series of activities that guides students through the exploration of occupations and planning the next steps to achieve their career goals. The Guide has recently been updated and now includes career information on approximately 400 occupations. Students can explore these occupations and consider whether their skills, as measured by the three Career Exploration Scores, and interests, as measured by an interest inventory, match the demands of occupations that appeal to them. Research has shown that students who participate in the ASVAB Program experience less career indecision, enjoy greater confidence in making career decisions, and consider more thoughtfully their options than do students who do not participate in the ASVAB Program.
