VoSPA – St – R (Vocational Style & Personality Assessment – For Students – Revised)

Description

Now more than ever, people are defining themselves by their work. With 40 plus hours a week of work becoming the norm for many, it has become increasingly important that people find jobs with which they are compatible, and ultimately enjoy doing. A career mismatch can lead to a great deal of frustration and unhappiness. Across all jobs and careers, it is clear that people who enjoy their work tend to be better at what they do. We take this principle as the premise of this Career Path & Aptitude Assessment. Aiming to measure particular aspects of a candidate’s values and preferences and match them with jobs that they would likely excel at, this assessment can help broaden their understanding of the available jobs out there.
