Bright and Associates offer a range of different careers-related services to the schools community. We are leaders in the Career Development world and specialise in this area. Our services are evidence-based, designed speficially for school-age students, contemporary, relevant and personalised.
Our vocational assessments are highly regarded not least because the reports written for each student are completely hand-written. There is no automatic, impersonal computer-generated recommendations, or stock interpretative paragraphs in our reports. Each and every student report contains occupational recommendations hand-picked by our highly experienced staff. These recommendations are incorporated into a report that consists of interpretations of the careers tests that are generated individually and uniquely by the same experts, not by a computer.
We have years of experience in managing large school vocational assesmsent projects, testing several hundreds in one sitting, or over a short period of time. Our processes have been developed by Prof Jim Bright, a world authority on career development and managed by Karen Bright, a leading career counsellor, and bestselling author of careers books. Below are details of how our process works for large cohorts of students. Our testing services are available across Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore and India. We also can see individual students in our offices in Warriewood on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
Why choose Bright and Associates? We believe we offer a service that sets us apart from all others because: Our reports are all individually written by an expert and are highly personalised. The results are contextualised into each student’s personal and familial circumstances. Hence they are not a series of general paragraphs that could apply to anyone. No two reports are ever the same. Internationally recognised expertise and experience Evidence-based approaches based on our own research that has been peer-reviewed and published in the leading international careers journals The use of carefully selected assessment instruments that are psychometrically robust and developed either by ourselves or by colleagues that are co-authors and collaborators in our on-going research program The use of assessment instruments developed specifically for Australian High School students.
Is there an option to have a private consultation? Yes. Bright and Associates offer 1 on 1 private career assessments and interviews at our office on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
