Through NMTCC’s Guidance Department, students participate in CareerScope® Online to enhance the career and educational planning process.  This web-based software measures a student’s interests and aptitudes through valid and reliable career assessment tasks.  CareerScope® Online identifies the user’s interests to careers as they relate to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Interest Areas and measures aptitudes that are most critical for today’s high growth and high replacement occupations.  Please contact us at 215-368-1177 x 188 for more information about CareerScope® Online and other career guidance activities offered at NMTCC.
