RIASEC and Careers

---

MoCo CAP Career Coaches, along with MCPS teachers and Career Champions, utilize the RIASEC themes to help students vividly  describe their own strengths, interests, and workplace values; identify how they are expanding their skills and knowledge;  and describe the various opportunities ahead of them. 

Working with students 1:1 and in small and large  groups, Career Coaches use an arsenal of activities to help individuals find the “right” work environments and address any issues that might  affect their performance or satisfaction within  those work environments. They also focus on developing skills that will  help them while in school and while out in the workforce. 

By regularly using RIASEC themes to identify their  strengths, interests, and values inside and outside of the classroom,  students will find good matches between themselves and different career  paths and be able to prepare for a successful  career.
