Abstract
Preparing all high school students for postsecondary education and training is an educational priority and school counselors play a crucial role in promoting college and career advising (Paolini, 2019). It is vital for school counselors to employ evidence-based career counseling interventions to support students’ needs by infusing best practices into the work of college and career readiness, connecting students' experiences to future aspirations, boosting academic motivation, and guiding them toward a purposeful life beyond secondary education (Fitzpatrick & Costantini, 2022; Sanders et al., 2017). One of the many strategies in delivering a schoolwide core curriculum with students is through group work. School counselors facilitate short-term groups as part of their ethical practice to address an array of student, school, and community needs (ASCA, 2022). Utilizing an aptitude assessment tool, such as YouScience, can better enhance small group career counseling and better inform students’ postsecondary choices and transitions.
