Career Tracks provide you with sample paths to follow
on the IDEAL career path. There are six Career Tracks
brochures, and each is based on one of the personality
types created by career theorist John Holland, Ph.D. His
personality type system is the model for our occupational
type Career Tracks that can aid you in identifying majors
and careers. Career Tracks also suggest avenues for
gaining insight to careers through internships, volunteering, and participating in student organizations.
More than likely, you will discover that you identify with
more than one occupational type; this is a natural occurrence considering that occupations listed in the Career
Tracks brochures are categorized by a combination of
types. In fact, it is good to identify two to three possible
types to explore. This way you can identify and determine
which type fits your personality more specifically.
