​Career Direct® Guidance System



What is the Career Direct® System?

Career Direct®​ is a comprehensive career assessment system that combines biblical principles with cutting-edge career guidance technology and statistics. With more than 20 years of development, Career Direct® has undergone rigorous testing and validation.

What is the Career Direct® difference?
​

​Career Direct® is one of the few assessment tools to approach career guidance from a biblical perspective. Unlike other career guidance assessments that explore one or two facets of a person’s identity, Career Direct® examines four essential components of career selection: personality, interests, skills/strengths, and values. As a result, Career Direct® is one of the most comprehensive guidance systems on the market today.

​Who will benefit from Career Direct®?
​

Anyone looking to unlock how God uniquely designed them in order to gain insight and wisdom into their career and vocational pursuits.

This includes:
  • High school students looking for insight into their future career options
  • College students unsure of their major and future career goals
  • Young adults trying to decide if college or vocational training is their next step
  • Adults re-entering the job market - post military career; stay-at-home parent, etc
  • Employees who lack passion or interest in their current career path but don't know where or how to start over again on a new path

Why is a Career Direct® assessment so valuable?
​​

SAVE MONEY ~ Every year high school students plunge into the world of college debt without knowing what they want to do or if the major they have selected will get them a job they are passionate about 

SAVE TIME ~ College students spend valuable time and money bouncing from major to major and sometime even school to school because they don't know what they want to do for a career. 

START FRESH ~ People stay in careers they were never made to do day after day, month after month, and year after year because they don't know what else to do. God's mercies are new every morning. Let today be the day for a fresh start that supports your unique design. 

FIND YOUR PATH ~ Not everyone was made to go to college and not every career needs a college degree. Why walk down the wrong path when you can have the information and tools for the path you were created for.
​
FIND YOUR PASSION ~ God created each person with a unique design and for a purpose. When we can discover that unique design our work has meaning and direction.

Testimonials for the Career Direct® Assessment

"This is one of the rare career planning or testing services that takes into account the believer's responsibility to and reliance upon God. Although you can get other assessment instruments to use on your own fairly inexpensively, Career Direct’s in-depth analysis and Christian perspective is worth the extra cost." 
Cathy Duffy, Reviewer, Christian Home Educators' Curriculum Manual: Junior/Senior High
​​"Coming into college as a freshman, I did not have a clue as to what I wanted my major to be. I had many interests but knew I could not pursue all of them at once. Career Direct affirmed my strengths and interests while helping me understand myself better by showing my weaker areas. I could narrow down the broad interests I had into what most inspired me. Career Direct was a very positive, helpful experience." 
Amanda L., Junior, Belhaven College, Mississippi
Summit Ministries "My own high school experience with aptitude tests soured me on their benefit. But as a dad of a teenage son trying to get a sense of direction in life, I was introduced to Career Direct.
After my son completed the questionnaire we received a detailed 24-page report of the results, which our Career Direct qualified consultant went over with us in a two-hour coaching call. When I asked my son, ‘What did you think?’ after the consultation, he replied without hesitation: 'I have never been so happy. I finally understand how God made me and what to do next.'
I would have paid almost any amount to see him so energized! The Career Direct fee was so reasonable (if it helps a student avoid even a single “off-track” college class, the tuition savings alone will offset the cost many times over)—and the service so personal—I now recommend Career Direct with confidence."

Dr. Jeff Myers, President, Summit Ministries

​Client Testimonials
​
The Career Direct Assessment is something I believe every high school student should take. My 2 teenagers learned a lot ​about themselves and now have a very clear guide to help them pursue the path God has in store for them, and how God has designed them with unique gifts and abilities that they can use in their career. I really love how the consultation has made them have a completely different approach on choosing a career and the importance of it. My husband, kids and I enjoyed meeting with Kim. She did a wonderful job going through their results and really spoke to my kids from her heart. Her passion for helping others and love for God was inspiring. This has been an invaluable experience for my children. Thank you Kim! ~ Jessica Ryder, parent
​​I had my eye on the Career Direct assessment for several years and couldn’t wait for my son to hit the right age to take it. I was not disappointed, as the program helped confirm many things we already suspected, but it also shone light on some new facets that we never expected! It was a great tool to see how the different “parts” of my son can all work together for his good and for the glory of God! We were also greatly blessed to have Kim administer his test. She truly cares about her clients and was wholly invested in the time we spent with her. She was so encouraging and knowledgeable and made us feel extremely valued. Kim honestly has a gift for working with young people. I would recommend her and Career Direct without reservation! ~ Elana Brancato, parent
​Giving my 17-year-old daughter the opportunity to take the Career Direct Assessment was a life-changing gift to her. Prior to the assessment, my daughter was discouraged and was floundering with finding a career path to study that fit her personality and her God-given gifts. The assessment itself took only a short while, but the information gained from the results will last her a lifetime. Kim Willson did an excellent job breaking down the results and guiding her through the consultation. She was very thorough throughout the meeting making certain we understood how to use the valuable tool we had just received. Not only did the assessment results help my daughter narrow down some career choices for which she is best suited, it also gave her confidence that God has a plan and a purpose for her and she can be passionate now to pursue career opportunities that match her unique design. I have and will recommend Kim to families whose students want to find a great career fit!  ~ Robin Prado, parent
​I was able to participate in an assessment and consultation through Career Direct with Mrs. Kim Willson as my consultant, and I am so glad that I did. I can honestly say that it helped me tremendously in determining my career path as it provided me with so much clarity as to the type of career that God has truly designed me to pursue. I was not the kind of person to instantly know what I wanted to do with my life ever since I was young, in fact, it was a topic that always scared me a little bit as I could not imagine picking one thing to do for the rest of my life. After completing the assessment, we met up to discuss my results and I was pleasantly surprised to discover my results. I am so extremely thankful for the encouragement and support I received from Mrs. Willson and the Career Direct program as a whole. I would highly recommend going through the process to anyone who may be unsure about their career, or just want a little extra push in the right direction. ~ Gracie George

​My Career Direct assessment was an amazing and informative experience. The assessment not only helped me feel more comfortable about pursuing my future career, but it also gave me a better understanding of myself. During the assessment Mrs. Wilson was very thorough, attentive, and encouraging. I left the assessment excited about knowing that there was a perfect career for me. I would highly recommend Mrs. Willson for guidance through this assessment tool. ~ Adrianna M., college student
This test was really fun and easy to take. When Kim went over my results I learned so much about myself and it helped me narrow down career options that were best suited of me. She did an amazing job and I would recommend her service to anyone. ~ Mariah R. ​
​Very good job! It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to meet me and invest in me. I will definitely recommend you to anyone interested in this assessment. ~ Sean, high school student
​My first impression when I heard of the 3 hour consultation was bad, but in reality I was sad when we ran out of material to discuss. Mrs. Willson, with God’s help, made a lot of things clear to me, but probably the most valuable thing I learned was that just because I could do a job, does not mean I should do it. Before my consultation, I was resigned to my fate of working forever. After, I realized that just because some jobs are “better” than others, doesn’t mean I can’t do what makes me happy. ~ Chloe, high school student
​I really enjoyed my consultation with Mrs. Willson because it showed me what jobs matched my personality and what jobs didn’t. It made me see the importance of finding the right job for who you are. ​~ Michael, high school student
