Student reorientation assessment

Why conduct a "reorientation assessment"?

Having a student undergo a career reassessment means supporting them at a key moment when their choices will reshape their future. After an initial career path that may have been disappointing or unsuitable, it is essential to take a step back and consider new possibilities.

Higher education represents a significant investment, both in terms of time and money, and should be undertaken with clarity and confidence.

The Career Change Assessment helps you clarify your current motivations, identify your strengths and interests, explore alternative career paths, and build a new, coherent, and motivating plan. It is also a way to give meaning to your efforts, regain confidence, and turn apparent failure into a real springboard for success.

Get to know yourself better so you can start again on a solid foundation that is aligned with your personality.
Understanding the reasons for failure, whether related to oneself and/or the study environment
Explore other fields and careers related to your skills and aspirations.
Develop a realistic and motivating plan that is tailored to your career path.

Testimonial from Marie-Pierre, mother of Maxence

"When my son Maxence failed his first year of law school, he was completely lost, and I was afraid he would lose confidence in himself. So we decided to do a career reassessment. This assessment allowed him to take a step back, clarify his strengths, and identify fields of study that were better suited to his personality. Today, he is moving forward with a new direction, motivated and confident. Failing law school has become a springboard to a new beginning."

Developing a solid career change plan is an essential step in gaining admission to a master's program. The career change assessment is a decisive starting point: it allows students to clarify their motivations, highlight their strengths, and define a coherent academic and professional plan. In a context of increasingly competitive selection, a well-defined plan helps students avoid making choices by default, boosts their confidence, and gives their application more weight. It is a real springboard for enrolling in the right program and planning for a future that is chosen rather than imposed.

The benefits of the "Reorientation Assessment" for parents

The Reorientation Assessment reassures parents during a period often marked by disappointment and uncertainty. It allows them to ensure that their child does not remain stuck in a situation of failure or on a path that is not right for them. By investing in this Assessment, they avoid costly academic wandering and support their child in building a new, more fluid and coherent plan. It is also a way to reestablish dialogue, understand their current aspirations, and encourage them to pursue a realistic path that offers a promising future and builds confidence.

The benefits of the "Reorientation Assessment" for parents

For students, the reorientation assessment is a decisive step that transforms failure or hesitation into opportunity. It helps them clarify what didn't work, identify their talents and true interests, and explore new, more suitable paths. This work restores confidence, helps them regain motivation, and provides solid benchmarks for building a coherent plan. Young people can then look to the future with greater peace of mind, gain maturity, and find meaning in their efforts. The assessment thus becomes a real springboard toward a future that is chosen rather than endured.

Testimonials from students who have received support

"I chose medicine because it seemed like the obvious choice, but I quickly realized that it wasn't for me. The career change assessment helped me understand my true motivations and consider other paths. Today, I know what I want to do, and I feel relieved to have found a path that suits me better."
Sarah, after her first year of medical school

"After failing my law degree, I had a lot of self-doubt and didn't know what to do. The career change assessment allowed me to take a step back, recognize my skills, and discover other possible paths. It gave me back my confidence, and I'm leaving with a clearer and more realistic plan."
Thomas, after his first year of law school

"Prep school taught me a lot, but I couldn't see myself in the future. The career change assessment helped me identify my strengths and build a coherent plan, far from the pressure I was under. Today, I feel more relaxed and, above all, more motivated, because I have a real direction that suits me."
Élise, after studying literature at a preparatory school

"I had enrolled in an engineering school, but I wasn't happy with what I was learning. With the Career Change Assessment, I discovered other sectors where my skills could really be useful. I realized that changing paths wasn't a failure, but an opportunity. I feel much more confident about the future."
Adrien after engineering school

"I thought that sports science would be the right path for me, but I quickly realized that it didn't match my true desires. You can love playing a sport without wanting to make it your career. The career change assessment helped me better understand my values and find a new direction. Today, I feel reassured: I have a clear plan and I know why I'm going back to school."
Camille, after a year studying sports science
