Career Plan

The Career Plan is the culminating report that summarizes the participant’s activity results, presents recommended occupations based on those results, and offers suggestions for next steps in the participant’s journey to their next job.


The Career Plan unlocks when a participant completes Step 2 (Career Interests). Once unlocked, the Career Plan continues to update with each new completed activity.

Explanation of Results
This section displays the participant's Career Readiness Index (CRI), an indicator of the participant's readiness to recommended careers based on the results of their My Work Ready activities. The participant's CRI score increases with each activity the participant completes. Higher activity scores result in a higher CRI. Explanation of Results includes detailed explanations of each module:
  • Work Ready Soft Skills: Explains the importance of soft skills in the workplace and in life. If the participant did not reach mastery in the soft skills modules, they will be prompted with a recommendation to complete the Essential Soft Skills training (optional).
  • Career Interests: Explains the three Career Interests modules—My Interests, My Occupations, and My Work Values. 
  • My Interests: Provides an explanation of each of the six interest categories—Social, Conventional, Enterprising, Artistic, Realistic, and Investigative.
  • My Occupations: Provides a list of recommended occupations that match the preferences the participant identified in the other surveys. 
  • My Work Values: Provides an explanation of the six work value categories—Achievement, Independence, Recognition, Relationships, Support, and Working Conditions.
  • Financial Reality Check: Walks the participant through the results of their Reality Check activity and shows the annual salary they need to support their lifestyle.
  • Work Ready Academic Skills: Explains the achievement levels in the Work Ready Academic Skills Training and how they correspond to career pathways. Depending on their posttest results, the participant may be prompted to continue through the training and achieve higher scores so they can match with more higher level occupations.
