ASVAB Career Exploration Program
The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is a comprehensive, Career Exploration program, intended for use with students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, as well as students in post-secondary schools. The Program provides tools, including the test battery and interest inventory, 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

Summary: The “ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success: K-12 College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Every Student” describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students need to achieve academic success, college and career readiness and social/emotional development.
The 35 mindset and behavior standards identify and prioritize the specific attitudes, knowledge and skills students should be able to demonstrate as a result of a school counseling program. School counselors use the standards to assess student growth and development, guide the development of strategies and activities and create a program that helps students achieve their highest potential.
This workshop helps school counselors to:
- Operationalize the standards
- Select competencies that align with classroom lessons, small groups and activities addressing student developmental needs
- Develop program goals that align with standards
- Align with the school’s vision and mission.
Learning Outcomes:
- Transition to the Mindsets and Behaviors
- Create school program goals that reflect the mindsets and behaviors
- Discover the importance of student competencies aligned with state standards.
- Focus on the ins and outs of writing useful competencies.
- Learn how to navigate the student competencies database to find already-written competencies
