It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish!

Exploring which major to pursue can be an enlightening experience. It’s an exercise in learning more about your favorite subject— you! Finding out about the opportunities that best fit your personality is exciting. The Self-Directed Search (SDS) is an educational career assessment tool created by Dr. John Holland that has been used more than 36 million times.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The SDS takes about 20 minutes. When you’re finished, you’ll receive a customized interactive report that includes occupational and educational options based on your Summary Code as well as options to further sort, search, and filter your results based on criteria important to you. Explore your results by career cluster, educational level, Holland Occupational Code, and projected job outlook.

There are many things to consider when deciding which career path is right for you.

The Student Support Counselors at Technical College of the LowCountry are here to help!
