CAREER DAY 2023

By Kelley Kaminsky, Student Counselor

Each year, our incredible Student Services Department hosts a Career Day. The hope is by providing our students with real world professionals in various fields, it will foster an environment of curiosity, allowing students to explore careers matching their own personality strengths.

John Holland, Ph.D., was a psychologist who devoted his professional life to researching issues related to career choice and satisfaction. He developed the well-known Theory of Career Choice which asserts that in choosing a career, people prefer jobs where they can be around others who are like them and in environments where they can use their unique abilities.

The School Counselors at Bishop Verot have provided all students with the Holland Traits assessment through Naviance, called the Career Interest Profiler. The results of the assessment yielded students’ top personality strengths in six areas: realistic, artistic, investigative, social, conventional, and enterprising fields – all of which were featured on campus during Career Day.

We are so grateful for the generous donation of time and talent from our speakers who are Viking parents, alumni, and community members. BV
