Career Exploration Inventory, Fifth Edition

This edition offers updated activities to reflect the constantly changing workplace and refreshed design for easier use!

Explore and plan three major areas of your life—work, leisure activities, and learning. With the Career Exploration Inventory (CEI), individuals reflect on 128 activities and consider their past, present, and future interest in them. Scores connect to 16 career interest areas with related jobs, education and training options, and leisure activities listed for each interest area. Additional information helps students, job seekers, and others focus on their top interest areas as they ponder their future plans.

The best-selling CEI is a career interest inventory with career information and career planning guidance in one foldout format. It cross-references major print and online career resources for further research. It is easy to read, self-scoring, self-interpreting, and backed by strong validity.

In this edition, steps have been streamlined and modified for easier use. Activity statements have been revised, and job titles, leisure activities, and education and training options have been updated. An additional career exploration worksheet has been added to help users research occupations of interest.
