What is Major Clarity and Why should You Use It?
Major Clarity is a career readiness program which can help you choose the best career paths based on your academic accomplishments and feedback you provide through short assessments. It is different from other programs you may find online because it’s connected to Powerschool, so it can use the courses you successfully completed during middle and high school to give you more accurate career paths. You can find up-to-date information on all levels of college, military and some apprenticeships including where the jobs are and how much income you could make.
Logging into Major Clarity
OPTION 1: Use your Clever log-in.
OPTION 2: Use your school email and the password described below. (This password is different than your Powerschool/Canvas one)
Getting Started
After logging in, choose “Assessments” on the left side. Complete the Personality Assessment and the Learning Styles Assessment. Answer honestly; this only helps you! Once you finish, watch this video on Career Exploration and visit that section in Major Clarity. This is where all the awesomeness is!
*The 65 Career Paths are arranged by your “Fit Score” which is created by the results of your two assessments, plus any classes you completed while at Walker-Grant or James Monroe.
Here is some info on the My Portfolio section:
