Career Cruising: For Schools

It is an extremely user-friendly program; Career Cruising is used by everyone from 6th grade students to career searching adults. Here are some of the comments we have received about Career Cruising from our clients:

"We have never had such a strong, positive response from our students, parents and faculty to a career development program."

Guidance Department Waukesha West High School

"The validity of Matchmaker is outstanding and it's easy to navigate. Speaking as a psychologist, and based upon feedback from other professional counselors in our region, the accuracy of Matchmaker is excellent."

Jerry Murray Psychologist ISD 287 Suburban Hennepin County

"...an innovative piece of career software that is obviously the product of a tremendous amount of research and production work...an effective and entertaining tool for adolescent and adult learners."

Marc Verhoeve Forest Heights Collegiate

"The combination of career information and personal insight is what really sets Career Cruising apart. The result of blending subjective opinion and objective data is a more complete perspective on any given occupation."

Neil Baldwin Career Advisor Sheridan College

"Career Cruising enabled me to see concrete steps to map out career directions for myself."

Student Kwantlen University College

"Career Cruising is the first career guidance program I've found that completely fits our needs. It has by far the best career portfolio component that I have ever seen."

Tamara Sturdy Counselor Riverton High School

"Your site is GREAT! We use it almost exclusively for our students looking for advice on specific programs, doing career searches, Matchmaker, and requesting information on colleges and universities. This is really the most comprehensive tool I have seen. Keep up the good work."

Len Whalen Regiopolis-Notre-Dame High School

"The service you provide in meeting our demands and requests is second to none."

David Gillis Career Advisor Steveston Sr. Secondary School

"I have a few students who are so disconnected from school that they do nothing most of the time in most of their classes - including mine. Well, when we started the unit on Career Cruising something changed...I attribute their engagement to the authenticity of the work and the quality of the Career Cruising web site."

Madeline Slovenz Park East High School

"It's better than anything I've seen from the big software companies. It's fantastic! And even my eight year old can use it!"

Jan Whitney Morningstar Secondary School

"My own three children all did it at home - grade 7, 9 and 11 - and all 3 of them spent 3 - 4 hours on it!!! They all enjoyed it and continue to go back! That's what I am telling the teachers - because the kids' words carry lots of weight!!!"

Judy Gatt Guidance Coordinator Simcoe Muskoka District Separate Board

"This is the finest resource for co-op students, or any student for that matter, regarding employment and career opportunities that I have ever seen. Congratulations!"

Helen Harrison Vincent Massey Secondary School

"I am extremely pleased with the quality and the breadth of the resources on your website and I'm looking forward to incorporating it into my Career Ed. courses this year. I have been investigating a number of career matching surveys and yours was the best by far, especially in terms of the integration of interests, education plans and current skills."
