Online career assessment tools
How self-assessments can help
Career self-assessments develop your self-awareness and professional identity which helps you make more informed career choices.
As you progress through your studies, you will learn more about your discipline and your strengths and areas for development. Completing online career self-assessments will help you better understand your skills, interests, aptitudes and strengths. This knowledge helps you better prepare for what you want to do next, by helping you to:
- Make the right choices (e.g. which course)
- Make the most of your learning opportunities and elective subjects (such as Internships)
- Identify your key skills and strengths and how to leverage them
- Identify and develop strategies to deal with knowledge and skill gaps
- Understand how you relate to others in different situations (e.g. teamwork, leadership/management, socially).
