DESCRIPTION
Used by students and educational institutions, The RoleFit Survey – School Place Career Guidance™ (RFS- SPCG®) uses a breakthrough approach for agile, competency-based decision support regarding choices for post-secondary education, career counseling and career selection. The RFS-SPCG® enables students to focus on fast-tracking post-secondary education, graduating and being employed sooner, and all while reducing education-related costs. Recently published data in 2011 by The Institute of Education Statistics suggest why there is such a need for the RFS-SPCG®: • Of the Top 5% of High School Graduates that go on to College (i.e., they were in the top 5% of their Graduating Class) …40% DO NOT FINISH their Degree; • 38% of First Year College / University Students DO NOT RETURN for their Second Year; • 60% of students today DO NOT graduate from the school they started their college education; • 57% of students enrolled in post-secondary institutions take 6 years to obtain a 4 year degree. Regardless of where you find yourself or someone you know, e.g., a College/University student or at the entry/mid/experienced level of your career, many people constantly grapple with questions about their choice of career. For example: • Am I making the right career choice? • Will my career choice provide me with a high probability of success regarding job satisfaction and the lifestyle I am looking for? • What other career choices do I have? • How can identify my best career options quickly? Built upon the robust scientific approach incorporated into our 54 Factor competency model, the RFS-SPCG® is available in English and written at a 5th Grade reading comprehension level (contact us for a copy of an externally validated Psychometric Report). The RFS-SPCG® is 87% accurate more than 95% of the time; in short, there is simply nothing available anywhere that can compare to its ease of use, accuracy, reliability and speed in predicting successful careers. We start by actively engaging students in a high-value, low cost, online, competency-based, 20 - 30 minute assessment. The RFS-SPCG® compares a student’s unique 54 Factor Competency Profile to each of the unique Job Competency profiles for each of the 1,200+ jobs in our Master Job Repository. This provides a reliable, secure, legally defensible turnkey approach, supported by an entire team of Educational/Industrial/Organizational Psychologists and a dedicated IT team. Academic institutions, Administration, students and parents can have confidence in the RFS-SPCG® as a valid and reliable tool for accurately predicting how successful students will be in any career.TRANSCRIPT

Most parents heave a HUGE sigh of relief once their son or daughter has been accepted to college or university and have sent in the acceptance reply notice and residence deposit. They think the hard part is over…when in fact it's just beginning:
• Of the Top 5% of High School Graduates that go on to College or University, 40% DO NOT FINISH THEIR DEGREE;
• 38% of First Year College and University Students do NOT return for their Second Year;
• Every time a student changes majors or transfers schools, it costs the student/parents $8,000. (some research suggests that the average number of times a student does one or the other is 3.5 times over the course of their college education – equivalent to losing 1 year of Tuition and Room & Board);
• 60% of students today do NOT graduate from the school they started their college/university education;
• 57% of students today take 6 years to obtain a 4 year degree;
• Ongoing and Uncontrollable Rising Costs of Post-Secondary Education…
