CliftonStrengths®
Why Student Strengths Matter
For students who are uncertain of potential career paths, understanding individual strengths and how they are aligned with the 16 National Career Cluster will help guide potential career exploration and inform high school course selections.
Additionally, understanding strengths helps students move beyond the question, “What job should I have?” to the deeper question, “Who am I, and how can I use my strengths to contribute?”
At Brockport, strengths work supports:
- Career exploration and pathway planning
- Goal‑setting and reflection
- Portrait of a Graduate competencies, especially being Reflective & Future‑Focused
- Student voice and ownership of learning
Strengths are not labels—they are tools students use to grow, adapt, and make informed decisions over time.
