Using Type to Improve Student Retention

Keeping students in school and engaged is the first rung on the ladder of academic and career success. Four-letter type descriptions help to know the student, but how do you turn that knowledge into an action plan for student retention and career development?

This two-day program is designed for experienced type practitioners. Using a case study format, we will explore retention-related concerns of college and university students, faculty and staff. Discussion topics will include:

Type and adjusting to college

Type and academic advising

Type and the sophomore slump

Type and counseling support

Type and learning styles

Type and student development

Type and stress

Type and career decision making

Who Should Attend?

The focus of this program is on type applications in education, and should be of particular interest to college and university advisors, counselors, career counselors, other student support services personnel, and private practice counselors and coaches who work with college students of all ages.

Combining the Strong Interest Inventory™ and MBTI® Assessments

This two-day advanced training addresses the issues that come up after you have been using the two assessments for awhile, and introduces products and support materials beyond the basics. It goes beyond the typical textbook cases where all the test results point in a clear direction, the client is motivated, and the job market is cooperative. The workshop presents a career assessment framework which can be adapted to any career development or human resources setting. Using actual case studies, you will learn to use the Strong Interest Inventory™ and MBTI® assessments with students and clients to:

Fully access occupational resources, career fields, and job titles.

Relate type preferences to RIASEC work environments.

Explore type and the Strong Interest Inventory™ Personal Style Scales.

"Tease" useful information out of flat assessment profiles.

Consider gender and cross cultural issues.
