Having a set purpose can motivate students to persist toward their goals. However, establishing a set goal that compliments a student’s personality and aligns with their interests, values, and preferences can be tricky. In 2020 and 2021, Tallo surveyed current high school and college students about their career preferences to understand how educators can increase graduation rates and guide students toward their next step. Interest in work remains one of the top three factors that motivate this generation to accept a job offer, which led us to discover two out of three current high school and college students find it important to have a job that is personally fulfilling.
While asking students about the future self they imagine is a decent first step in goal setting, equipping them with tools offered in Tallo’s Assessment to understand their personality, interests, values, and workplace preferences will allow them to set and work towards specific personal or professional goals that honor their sense of purpose. Students who have knowledge of their personalized career and educational pathway results and recommendations will be able to confidentially communicate their ideal environment to educators, recruiters, and potential employers after high school.
