FOCUS Career Assessment
The first step in the career development process is to first assess your personality, interests, skills, faith, and personal values, to determine how they fit in with desired careers. The path to personal and professional success starts with these questions, and will help you decide on careers that provide you with the stability, success, and happiness that are essential to a productive life.
Our FOCUS assessment tool is a web-based program that examines your personality, interests, skills, and values, and provides feedback to begin the career exploration process. The use of the FOCUS system should be accompanied by an appointment with Matt Caporale in Career Services, to fully maximize the experience.

Mentor an Abbey Student
One of the best ways to connect back with the Abbey community is by providing assistance to our current students. Consider becoming a mentor to a student who is seeking information, advice, and counsel on how to enter your career field.
Assistance can be provided through informational interviews, one-on-one meetings, job shadowing opportunities, providing internship experiences, or by simply meeting a student for coffee on a regular basis at our new on-campus coffeehouse. Your expertise and advice will be invaluable to a student seeking a career path, or simply needing advice on how to transition from the Abbey to the “real world”.
To become a mentor, contact Matt Caporale in Career Services at 704-461-6873 or matthewcaporale@bac.edu
