I’m not sure what I would like to study. Are there any tools to help me?

We want to help you on your path to an exciting career! If you are not sure where to begin, or you are undecided about a major, consider taking an online skills assessment on Ohio Means Success. Operated by the Ohio Board of Regents, the website is designed to help students prepare for college and explore different careers. Users can take skills assessments to find careers to match their personality, research degree options, and learn about internships and co-ops, as well as find out which industries are in demand in Ohio.
