Focus 2 is not just a homework assignment you turn into your Smart Start class. Focus 2 is so much more than that!  What is Focus 2 you ask? Focus 2 is a website designed to match students with the right career choice. It is an assessment that will ask you a series of questions pertaining to yourself. The questions are based into five categories: work, values, personality, skills, and leisure. Take your time when you answer the questions- so you get an accurate overview and result.

Once completed, Focus 2 will put together a list of careers that seem like a perfect match for you! All you have to do is combine your assessment results from the five categories. Once combined, you can see which of the categories come up with a career occupation. When you look at your list of occupations, you can see what majors at St. Petersburg College support that career and a salary, keep in mind, this salary is not entry level! There are icons that will tell you if the occupation has a bright outlook or is eco-friendly. You can also save an occupation and link to St. Petersburg College’s website to learn more about a certain program.

Each occupation is hyperlinked, allowing you to click on the occupation to learn more about that specific career. You will get an overview of the occupation that discusses what responsibilities, knowledge, and special tasks you would do in that occupation. You can also see how well of a match you are to the occupation in a graph that displays side by side, the interests of someone that works in that certain occupation and how you answered those five assessments. Skills, values, work conditions, and education requirements are also listed for each career. Take the time to explore Focus 2 and learn more about career opportunities.
