The Strong is a well-respected tool to help you identify likely career paths of interest.  It also sheds light on your work style and work personality.  When we meet we will discuss the meaning of your results, AND how to take the next steps to explore your career options.Registration on CareerBridge REQUIRED for the event in order to receive further instructions on how to take the assessment: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student
