It provides instructions for participants to document their work experiences, skills, values, interests and personality traits. It also encourages seeking feedback from family, friends and colleagues. The goal is to help participants understand their strengths and passions in order to find a career that is the best fit. Professional assessments on the website can also provide additional insight.
