Scoir - Career Discernment

 
CAREER DISCERNMENT

Deciding on a career can be one of life's most difficult decisions. Answering the question "what do you want to be when you grow up" can be a daunting task. There is no magic formula for finding the right career path to take.

Fortunately, Marian utilizes the tools within the Scoir Program to help students discern the best pathway forward in identifying their strengths and interests, and connecting career pathways with those unique traits.

Career and personal goals assessment process

Sophomores- take the career and interest survey that will match students with different careers.
Juniors- investigate colleges and universities throughout the United States that offer the educational pathway the student wishes to pursue. This Scoir tool is a great resource for our students to start thinking about their post secondary plans.
Seniors- create and complete an action plan for entrance into target colleges, universities and/or vocational programs.
