DISCOVER®
DISCOVER® is an Internet-based career planning program created and administered by ACT, "an independent, not-for-profit organization that provides more than a hundred assessment, research, information, and program management services in the broad areas of education and workforce development." (A more familiar of ACT's products is the ACT – the American College Test or ACT.)
DISCOVER® is a comprehensive career planning program which combines the power of our research-based developmental guidance model with the convenience of multiple delivery options.
Using DISCOVER®, individuals from high school through adulthood find help preparing for:
-
four-year college
-
two-year college
-
professional/graduate school
-
career/technical training
-
military service
-
immediate employment.
DISCOVER® provides guidance and information to help people make important career and educational decisions.
Research-based assessments of career-relevant interests, abilities, and job values help individuals consider career options that are a good match for them. ACT's World-of-Work Map organizes occupations into six clusters, parallel to Holland's Hexagon, to help users focus on preparing for career options that fit them best.
DISCOVER's comprehensive, developmental guidance process helps users identify their strengths and needs, make good career decisions, and build a plan based on their personal profiles.
The system offers complete, current databases of occupations, college majors, schools and training institutions, financial aid/scholarships, and military options.
Users can also learn how to develop good job-seeking skills through effective resumes, cover letters, job applications, and interviewing skills.
DISCOVER® is available free of charge to Coast Guard personnel and their dependents through the ESO or Career Development Advisor (you'll need log-in information and a password to use it).
