WHY CHOOSE OPTIMUM ED?
A Different Approach to College and Career Success
OptimumEd's In-Depth Career and Academic Assessment is where it all starts. This assessment provides an overview of cognitive abilities, personality traits and interests. These three pieces of information come together to determine your individualized profile, which identifies careers that match your unique strengths, talents and interests.
Self-knowledge is a powerful tool for life, and the Assessment Process is the foundation. Beginning with career exploration as the first step in the college planning process provides clarity in decision-making. Using what we've learned, we assist your teen in casting a vision for all the possibilities ahead of them.
