Vocational Assessment and Career Development

The Vocational Assessment and Career Development process provides Players with the opportunity to gain a thorough array of objective information on which to base decisions about their future career and vocational options.

A range of sound psychometric tools combined with expert and highly experienced psychologists who take the time to fully explain all of the data in the written reports will enable the Players to make sound and informed choices about educational and occupational pathways for success.

The discussion of the written Career Development report is a two-way process in which the thoughts, ideas and experiences of the Player are shared before any specific vocational suggestions are considered. In addition, the Player will also gain insight and awareness of his strengths, weaknesses, style, capabilities and preferences, all of which will contribute to his ability to make and maintain relationships, communicate with team mates and coaches and effectively perform on and off the field.
