CDAP/ Career Development Assessment Profile
As a parent, one of your greatest desires is to see your child succeed in college. As a student, going into the first year of college with confidence is priceless. So…here comes the big question at orientation…..what are you thinking in terms of a major? Answers most commonly heard: I have no idea. I’m not sure. Whatever. I’m sure it’s this. How can I know what I need to major in? Choosing a major with wisdom and good information is critical to college / life and career success and an academic coach can help you do just that.
Many times, freshmen begin college without guidance and direction in choosing a major. Sometimes going ‘undeclared’ becomes lengthy and parents end up spending more money than expected. This is how taking the CDAP (Career Development Assessment Profile) can be beneficial to students and families. Dr. Lawson, a certified licensed assessment provider can give you the tools you need for a strong first year. Whether you are a high school student or a college student in any year and find you are seeking direction, here are three benefits you’ll experience by taking the CDAP:
Cost Savings
It costs money to make money, and college is definitely a worthy investment. The only problem is when a student is unable to decide on a major and college bills extend beyond what was expected. By taking the CDAP through your academic coach, students gain a sense of where their abilities and strengths are and also where they are not. The information provides direction in terms of careers that would be “lean into’s” and “lean away’s.”
Know Yourself
Deciding a major is almost impossible if you do not first understand your likes and dislikes, personality, and abilities. After taking the CDAP on CD rom, your academic coach Dr. Lawson works with students in developing a plan of action that takes into account the natural abilities, interests, and personality of each student. The student also takes with them during the 2 hours feedback consultation a 75 page bound report as a valuable reference tool to life direction.
Available Anywhere
CDAP can be taken and processed globally through CD Rom and online capabilities. The bound report is mailed to the client and a 2 hour interpretation / feedback consultation is conducted by Dr. Lawson, experienced life and academic coach and mentor to hundreds of students for 28+ years. Feedback from students and families include the specialized rapport she maintains with the college age in supporting them to reach their potential. Her Academic Support Services tailored to students’ college academic needs are also available nationwide. Her services as an academic coach are worth the investment.
