What
is FOCUS 2?
FOCUS 2 is a Web-based, personalized
career and education planning system based on established
career and counseling principles. It provides a complete
picture of your interests, values, personality, skills,
and leisure activities using self-assessment questionnaires,
interest inventories and personality testing. After
assessing your personal attributes, the system searches
its career and occupational information database to
identify and analyze occupations and career paths that
match your personal characteristics.
