FIND YOUR BEST FIT JOB WITH YOUSCIENCE
YouScience is a career aptitude test that assesses not just what you know but how you think, process, and problem solve using a series of brain games. YouScience does an excellent job of matching your aptitudes with careers that use those aptitudes. We can use your results to match you to local opportunities in our area. This will help you gain exposure to industries and careers that you may not have known about before! YouScience is the starting point for career conversations. Students are encouraged to take the assessment once between 7th and 8th grade, and then a more in-depth assessment once during 9th-10th grade.
