ASVAB Career Exploration Program Summary









 The acronym ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is often labelled a “military test”, but what most do not know is that there are two ASVAB programs:

 1-ASVAB Enlistment – Military: Our government administers an ASVAB test to men and women entering the Armed Services for the purpose of determining job placement. 

 2-ASVAB Student -- Career Exploration program: The ASVAB Career Exploration program in schools is a modified test administered to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students for career exploration. 

IFHS is offering Career Exploration Program testing only to students whose families are Pre-Registered for MAP 2018 and select the free career testing option.










 The ASVAB is the most widely used multiple-aptitude test battery in the world.  The components of the program are: Multiple aptitude test; Career Exploration Tool, the OCCU-Find: and Career Planning Resources.  Home Schooling parents and students may use the ASVAB test results as a benchmark to gauge students’ performance. The career exploration components give students the opportunity to explore a variety of occupations in line with their interests and skills through assessment and structured activities. 

 Once the ASVAB test has been administered, a high school student can participate in a tremendous Career Exploration experience.  The program can greatly assist in guiding students to rewarding careers.  Here are some of the advantages of using the ASVAB-Career Exploration Program: More details to follow on day of testing.
