Counselor Support Programs -
DISCOVER®
DISCOVER is an online career planning program that DANTES provides to education centers through the Computer Assisted Guidance Information System (CAGIS). Participating education centers will receive DISCOVER tokens which allow the Service member access to the DISCOVER program at no cost.
Once online with DISCOVER the Service member enters his/her personal information and interacts with the program to reach decisions regarding educational and vocational choices. DISCOVER offers three career assessments, suggests occupational families based on the client's answers, and provides occupation data, school data, job seeking skills, etc. The program helps the Service member develop educational goals while in the military and explore career paths for transition to civilian life after the military. It measures interests (what you LIKE to do), abilities (what you CAN do), and values (what you PREFER to do). Each inventory is scored and interpreted immediately which allows easy access to the next logical step in the planning process.
