YouScience Parent Information

Welcome, parents! We’re glad you’re here.

Your student has an amazing opportunity for self-discovery and we have some great tools to help you engage with their results. Through a series of engaging brain games, YouScience Aptitude & Career Discovery measures aptitudes (natural abilities most important to career choice), then matches those talents (combined with interests) to high-demand career fields. Aptitude & Career Discovery has been proven to engage students and help them discover, affirm, and explore their talents, so they can make more informed decisions in high school and beyond.

The insights students get from Aptitude & Career Discovery are meaningful and actionable. We want parents to be in the know and able to engage their students in conversation about their results and plans for the future. We have provided a few resources below to help parents get their students talking, including FAQs, Results Walkthrough videos, and Conversation Starters.
