FOCIS is a new approach to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what career directions might best suit you. FOCIS applies generative AI analysis to psychometric and learning/life activity data from you to build a roadmap for your future based on the things that actively engage you.
Many times the paths we have to choose from in our lives are not clear. Choosing the direction for your future should be based on who you are and what most engages you. The path may seem clear, but does the clear path before you lead you to the future that best fits who are and you want to do?
The landscape of self-assessment is changing quickly due to AI.
With a research-based approach, FOCIS targets the active learning/life pursuits that most interest you and help you identify these pursuits and what career/educational directions might help you to do what you love for a living.
Having a completely open future can at times feel challenging. Which direction should you choose? What actions should you take? Where do you want to be? Who do you want to become?
FOCIS is a simple survey tool that asks you to think about some fundamental things you have probably already experienced. However, these simple experiences bundled together offer some important insights into to who you are and how you might feel about what best fits your future.
Guiding you through understanding yourself & your preferred activities in life.
