What our AACSB-accredited institutions say,
“You [Career Key] are our favorite tool!...
The Career Decision Profile gives us the opportunity to show students the value of knowing their own strengths, identifying barriers that may hold them back, and reflecting about their career choices.
The assessment is not just an “add-on” for our course… it’s a core component of helping students learn to make key decisions and evaluate their own levels of confidence.”
