The Assessment Services department at UCFV is preparing to offer a range of new services to the community. These services will include career testing, diagnostic testing, vocational rehabilitation testing, and portfolio development workshops.

 “I am looking forward to providing quality assessment services to our community. Over the past year, we have noticed an increased demand for this type of testing. Through this outreach program, we will be able to contribute to our community and expand our services to students,” says UCFV Assessment Services coordinator Jill Harrison.

Diagnostic testing will be conducted by the Assessment Services psychologist, who will determine the level of learning disability. Through testing and assessment tools, each participant will be provided with a full report on their learning disability, career possibilities, learning styles, and areas of strength.

Portfolio development workshops will introduce participants to the career/personal benefits of portfolio development. The participants will explore their credit and/or non-credit, and formal and/or informal, lifelong learning in order to enhance their career search.

Vocational rehabilitation testing provides participants with a full report on what types of careers they are interested in pursuing, their learning styles, skills, and strengths. This one-on-one session with a psychologist will help people refocus their career after an injury or prolonged unemployment.

Career testing, through self-assessment tools and guidance from the facilitator, will provide information on career possibilities, learning styles, preferences, skills and abilities. Assessment tools will include Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator®.
