Each year the State University System of Florida hosts a college workshop for all high school counselors to provide us with the most up to date information on each school.  Once we get the information for the 2024-2025 school year, we will post it here.

ASVAB Career Exploration

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Career Exploration is a comprehensive career exploration and planning program that includes a multiple aptitude test battery, an interest inventory and various career planning tools designed to help students explore the world of work.

The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is intended for use with students in the 11th and 12th grades as well as students in post-secondary schools. The Program provides tools, including the test battery and interest inventory developed by the Department of Defense to help high school and post-secondary students across the nation learn more about career exploration and planning. Results of the aptitude test and the interest inventory enable students to evaluate their skills, estimate performance in academic and vocational endeavors and identify potentially satisfying careers. These results are integrated with work values to help students identify and prioritize possible career choices. Students are encouraged to consider their own work-related values and other important personal preferences as they explore the world of work and learn career exploration skills that will benefit them throughout their work lives.
