Is this career interest inventory really free?

Yes, it costs nothing. Enter your email and it downloads right away. Your email lets the link reach you and joins the educators list for occasional resources, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

How do I get the pages?

Add your email on this page. The inventory opens immediately, a copy is emailed to you, and it lands in your My Resources library so you can reprint it.

Why picture pairs instead of questions?

Because interest should not depend on reading stamina. A student who circles the picture they would rather do is giving real assessment data, and the paired-choice format keeps every item quick and concrete.

What do I do with the result?

The scoring page names the student's strongest cluster or clusters, and the next-steps page points each cluster at the Spectrum Unlocked Job Skills pack that practices that work. The $4 Community Jobs Photo Cards carry the same cluster icons and turn the result into a sortable deck of twenty real jobs.

Can I use it with my whole caseload?

Yes, print a copy for every student you teach, and run it again next year: two dated inventories a year apart tell a transition story. If a file will not open, email info@spectrumunlocked.com and Spectrum Unlocked will fix it.

Packs that go together

Community Jobs Photo Cards

Career exploration a teen can hold: twenty community jobs on photo cards, each with a real photo, what the job does in one line, the tools it uses, and a could-I-do-this reflection. Cluster icons match the free What Jobs Do I Like? interest inventory across four clusters (food and service, retail and stock, office and organization, facilities and care), sorting mats turn the deck into a decision, and the reflection sheet sends the want-to-try pile into the portfolio. Includes a teacher guide with three levels and three copy-paste IEP goals.

Getting a Job: Applications & Interviews

A transition pack for a first job: a My Info Card the student fills once and carries laminated to real applications, three practice applications at a guided and a realistic level, ten interview question cards with sentence frames, a sixteen-card Interview Day photo sort with mats and a computed key, a mock interview rubric in a staff and a student version, and a thank-you note. Copy-paste IEP goals with criteria and timeframes.

Cleaning & Laundry Life Skills Visual Routines

Six home maintenance routines for teens as full-page six-step visuals: washing and drying laundry with the sticker-dot machine trick, dishes, bathroom cleaning with a mandatory safety card, vacuuming, and trash day. Each routine has a Did I Finish self-check strip, cut-apart sequencing cards, and a comprehension check, plus a weekly chore tracker with a streak goal, wallet-size mini cards, a home connection letter, a reusable data sheet with a safety-steps column, and copy-paste IEP goals. Three levels: match, sequence, independent.
