The ASVAB/Career Exploration Program (CEP) is a comprehensive, FREE, no commitment career-planning resource designed to help young people align their strengths and interests with a post-secondary plan that works. Students gain access to exclusive career exploration tools after they receive their ASVAB scores. Then, they can independently explore any careers that interest them, including those found in the Military. 

Participation in the ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP) is voluntary and your scores will NOT be released to the military unless you/your parents sign an Opt-In Release form. However, talking with a recruiter does not mean students have to enlist in the Armed Forces.

The ASVAB Career Exloration Program is made up of three components:

1. ASVAB: The aptitude test estimates your performance in academic and vocational endeavors.
2. FYI: The interest inventory measures your work-related interests.
3. OCCU-Find: A career catalog provides activities to help you put a plan together.

PART 1 – ASVAB. The Armed Services Vocational Abilities Battery, or ASVAB (computer-adaptive version), will be offered at LCM High School on Monday, November 4, 2024. The ASVAB is a FREE test for sophomores, juniors, and seniors to help students determine their vocational and career interests. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are interested in taking the ASVAB for military purposes may also do so on this date. Interested students must sign up in the Counseling Office by Friday, October 18.

PART 2 & 3 – FYI & OCCU-Find. On Monday, November 11, students will complete an interest inventory to measure your work-related interests. Students who took the ASVAB will import those results into the ASVAB Career Exploration Program, which can help students find out how interests and skills relate to the demands of more than 400 occupations. An ASVAB CEP representative will be on campus to help students to understand how their skills, interests, and values will assist them as they plan for college and their future in the world of work. Students will explore matching occupations in the OCCU-Find career catalog. Students will have access to this catalog for two years.
