ACT PLAN Interpretive Presentation 
* As a "pre-ACT" test, the ACT PLAN is a powerful predictor of success on the ACT. At the same time, it focuses attention on both career preparation and improving academic achievement. PLAN can help all students—those who are college-bound as well as those who are likely to enter the workforce directly after high school. It is a comprehensive guidance resource that helps students measure their current academic development, explore career/training options, and make plans for the remaining years of high school and post-graduation years.

ASVAB Helping Teens Explore Career Options
*** The ASVAB was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program was developed with input from a panel of career development experts and designed to encourage students to increase their level of self-knowledge and to understand how that information could be linked to civilian and military occupational characteristics. The ASVAB Program recently was re-designed to be helpful to virtually all students, whether they are planning on immediate employment after high school in civilian or military occupations, or further education at a university, community college, or vocational institution.
