Services for Students

All services are 30-minute appointments, except Interview Preparation, which is 60 minutes.

We are proud to operate within a curricular framework where we support learning outside the classroom in intentional and meaningful ways. Our Career Advisors have the training, language, and tools necessary to be co-creators of the Curricular Approach.

How does it work?
SuccessFinder focuses on assessing and understanding personality traits, strengths, and areas for development. The tool is based on collected data from high performers and the traits that they share. These unique behaviours are strong indicators of success in specific areas of life. By assessing behavioural traits, SuccessFinder helps to provide a highly accurate assessment of which areas clients will find success and happiness. The assessment is online and takes 30-90 minutes to complete.

How can it help?
SuccessFinder provides students with an opportunity to develop a deeper self-awareness that will help to guide career decisions. Results from the assessment will allow students to reflect on 5 areas: Lifestyle Priorities, Vocational Incentives, Competencies, Job Family Matches and the Ladder of Leadership. We highly recommend that you have a 1-hour debrief with one of our Career & Employment advisors to get the most of the results.

How do I register?
The cost to take the SuccessFinder assessment is $75.00 (or contact us to find out about subsidy options). Sign-up and pay using our online payment form, and someone from CATS will be in touch with you shortly.
