DISCOVER is a web based career planning program designed to assist all current students and alumni with many aspects of career/job search decisions. DISCOVER allows users to explore personal information through assessment (Inventories) and use the results information to identify potential career fields (Occupations) while exploring pathways for training and education (Schools).
This online system is password protected - please contact the Career Services office to obtain access to this system.

While the DISCOVER program is available on computers located in the Career Services Office, the internet version of DISCOVER is available for use free of charge for enrolled SUNY Oswego students and alumni.

 


Specifically, you can:
* Learn about yourself through Interest, Abilities and Values inventories
* Explore occupations through the World Of Work map and the results of your inventories - this includes national information on careers--including job descriptions, job outlook, pay, training, and education requirements
* Select a career direction, education pathway and mark favorite majors, schools and careers
* Manage your own DISCOVER portfolio by tracking your interests and favorites, and print a detailed summary of your career exploration
* DISCOVER enables computerized graduate school searches and provides you with the ability to locate information on graduate schools by degree program or by specific school.

1. Contact the Career Services Office at 312-2255 to receive a USER ID.
