There are 30,000 jobs at work in the United States. Recruiters divide jobs into over 80 job families. The problem of career choice for teens and young adults isn’t one of scarcity, but dividing the possibilities into reasonable categories that can be effectively researched for jobs that may suit. A young person’s interests provide the compass for guiding that research.

Everything DiSC® Workplace and Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™
The Everything DiSC® Workplace provides young adults with practical, personalized feedback on their preferred behavior approaches and offers insight into the behavior of others. It helps you coach people to understand their preferred behavioral style and have a framework and language for discussing their behavior with others. Clients can explore work environments that might be more comfortable to them and where their style is likely to be rewarded. In addition, clients can explore how they might stretch their natural tendencies to be more effective with certain colleagues or with a particular work team.
The DiSC® model of behavior is a research-based model used by over 40 million people; it is a Wiley Brand. With 30 years of proven reliability, Everything DiSC® remains the most trusted learning instrument in the training and development industry. Colleges and universities use the DiSC® model too—training residence life staff to handle the diversity of people they will interact with, and their various behavioral styles.
