Uxbridge High School will be offering the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Career Exploration Program (CEP) on Tuesday, April 5th to all interested sophomores.
The ASVAB CEP consists of a 1.5 hour career aptitude assessment followed by a 60 minute Post-Test Interpretation session using your student’s results. The Post-Test Interpretation session will be done virtually on Tuesday, April 26th.
While many people know the ASVAB is a test used for military enlistment and classification, the ASVAB CEP is much more than a military test. The program helps students learn about their skills and interests, identify potential occupations, and discover all the pathways to career-field entry. For students interested in the military, the ASVAB score will provide students a list of jobs in the military they would be qualified to perform.
The ASVAB aptitude test is administered by a representative from the military; however, there is absolutely no obligation to enlist in the armed services after taking the ASVAB. Test scores and identifying information will not be shared with the military or military recruiters. ASVAB test results will, however, be sent to your child’s Guidance Counselor who will use the results to help advise your child with postsecondary planning decisions.
Sophomore students who are interested in the ASVAB CEP should submit the Google Form that was emailed to them and posted in the Class of 2024 Google Classroom.

If you have any questions about the ASVAB CEP, please contact your child’s Guidance Counselor.
Thank you.
