The Kuder Career Assessment is a comprehensive, research based approach
to career exploration, planning and development. The Kuder assessment
is a free service provided by TTCC for prospective students and newly
enrolled first time students. While designed to be self-paced and self-interpreted,
support and counsel is also offered by Student Services at TTCC.
Individuals are assessed in three areas: skills, values and personal
interest. The Kuder Career Search scientifically helps individuals discover
their career interest. Results are presented in rank order of career
cluster preferences and include a listing of occupations within each
cluster. The results are compared to a database of 2,000 individuals
working in today’s occupations. Occupational bios are presented
for the 14 closest matches in the top two career clusters. In addition,
individuals can build a career portfolio to prepare a resume and access
links to additional career development resources.
Individuals interested in taking the Kuder Career Assessment may call
Sally Bibb, Technology Foundations Instructor, at (901) 475-2526 extension
17 to schedule a date and time. The assessment takes approximately one
hour and is a free service.
