Get Certified on the Strong Interest Inventory: June 11-14, 2012
posted by Kara Neureuther
In June 2011 I had the opportunity to become certified on the Strong Interest Inventory with GS Consultants, led by Judi Grutter. Many of you probably know Judi, have purchased one of her authored-products, or have seen one of her webinars featured on CPP.com. You can participate in this amazing certification program too!
The Strong Interest Inventory® Certification Program is available June 11-14, 2012.
Why is the Strong assessment so popular? The Strong has been used by 99 of the top 100 schools on the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” list for 2011. It has proven to be invaluable for students investigating particular majors or exploring the world of work. It is also used by career counselors, coaches, and outplacement agencies to assist first-time career seekers or those in career transition. It remains the gold standard instrument for career development.
The Strong can be used for:
- Choosing a college major—to help uncover students’ career interests and identify which areas of study are appropriate or required for a particular field
- Career exploration—to open up the world of work to first-time career seekers, or those considering career transition, by identifying their interests and demonstrating how those interests relate to various occupations and careers
- Career development—to help heighten individuals’ self-awareness and provide deeper understanding of individual strengths and blind spots, including work style and risk-taking orientation
- Career alignment—to help employees align their interests with areas of responsibility in their job that reflect those interests
