Career Assessment Services have been developed to assist students in planning for their future. A valuable tool in this preparation is the evaluation of work skills. The results of this assessment help the teacher and/or counselor assist your child in identifying their strengths and developing realistic career goals. This information is critical when determining appropriate course work for the remainder of your child’s school career.

Activities performed during this assessment will include work samples, relating to a wide variety of job activities. Interest testing and specific skill testing may also take place. Assessment tools are chosen based upon the individual needs and interests of each student. Each student will be evaluated on performance, career interest, and work behaviors.

At the completion of the assessment you are invited to participate in a conference to review your child’s performance.

Please complete the permission form on the back of this letter and return to your child’s teacher and/or counselor. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 216/529-4703 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
