DISCOVER® provides guidance and information to help people make important career and educational decisions.
- Research-based assessments of career-relevant interests, abilities, and job values help individuals consider career options that are a good match for them. ACT's World-of-Work Map organizes occupations into six clusters, parallel to Holland's Hexagon, to help users focus on preparing for career options that fit them best.
- DISCOVER's comprehensive, developmental guidance process helps users identify their strengths and needs, make good career decisions, and build a plan based on their personal profiles.
- The system offers complete, current databases of occupations, college majors, schools and training institutions, financial aid/scholarships, and military options.
- Users can also learn how to develop good job-seeking skills through effective resumes, cover letters, job applications, and interviewing skills.
